Lennar Reviews in Chicago, IL

I have lived in this townhome for almost 7 months. My garage floor has spider cracks from wall to wall. As many many of the new homes here do. My counter slab was cracked in half, needed to be replaced. I am sitting in my office now, with a space heater blowing on high to keep this tiny room from frost. There is no insulation. My carpet is freezing cold because the cement under it is so cold. The caulk is all cracked every where you look. My kitchen cabinets are so uneven the bottoms of the doors will not close completely. I have had the hardwood, the doors, the caulk, the counter, the garage floor all worked on, replaced, or told to pay for it myself because the warranty doesn't cover things like an entire garage being cracked like an egg. Worst builder I have seen to date. I know my association has many active ongoing legal issues with them. I would never advise any one to build with Lennar ever. ... More

So much disappointed with overall experience.

After the change of construction management the communication improved greatly. The new Don is very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Great team. Michelle, Bob, and Brian worked hard to keep our home completion on schedule. Any questions or concerns were addressed timely. I am very happy with my new home and the homebuilding process with a Lennars Talamore team

Everyone was patient, professional, and eager to help.

Everyone was so responsive and helpful during my first experience as a home buyer!

Overall, the experience was relatively easy. Like all home buying, it is an extensive process, but it was as easy as I think it could be. The concerns that we had were all addressed.

Process was very straightforward and support provided at all steps.

Very pleasant buy experience and the construction managers were very patient in their explanations during orientation

I would recommend Lennar. It was a pleasure working with them.

Very disappointed that I was sold a smart house and not given information to set this up. We have been in 3 months and still not done. Other items on punch list are now being worked on.

Worst loan company I’ve ever dealt with

Everything was perfect! In love with my new home!

Beautiful homes! Modern homes with new technology is always a plus.

It was a smooth process

We found the people at Lennar generally very professional to deal with. From the sales process to the choices of site and features, through to the financing. The people at Lennar are generally very good, great to deal with personally, and knowledgeable about their products. We did shop around and did comparative pricing and found that Lennar pricing was reasonable. We had 3 walk thrus prior to our closing, all three were very informative and revealed the quality of the workmanship. However, our experience was not without a couple of difficulties. Two weeks after relocating into our new home, which is very nice by the way, our dishwasher became unusable due to a main processor failure. The dishwasher is considered a “non-essential” component of the home so replacement was not an offered option. We instead are having to wait about six weeks for a back-ordered part to arrive from overseas to repair the unit. While this is not a terribly serious problem, nothing like failing heat in the winter or toilets that don’t flush, it has been an inconvenience, particularly because of the long delay. We understand that supply chain problems are an issue at this time but that does not eliminate the problem. These things being said, we would rate our experience with Lennar as a 9/10. Their people in particular have been very good to work with (this is important to us). We love our new home. ... More

The people at Lennar were helpful and there every step of the way.

The Lennar team was great throughout the home buying process. Everyone we dealt with from sales to contractors to lenders thoroughly explained everything. Any questions were promptly answered. The craftsmanship is excellent and the house was completed on time.

Bad experience. Wish I never bought a property. Unprofessional

The product offered is built at competitive prices, has an exceptional floor design, and is affordably priced.

The builder that I had on my property, was always available and very prompt and concerned about my issues

I love my new home. The design flow and layout uses every square foot of space optimally which was one on the primary decision drivers for my purchase of a Lennar home.

The process from beginning to end was actually easier than we had expected. If you've ever purchased a home you understand. The homes are built Strong & to your wishes. You have several options to choose from. Everyone we worked with from start to finish was very nice, helpful, and left no deed unfinished. Made sure we were happy. The Clubhouse, pool, fishing ponds, etc. are beautiful & exceptional. We are delighted with our New home and the area is very quiet, clean, and full of friendly neighbors. The only reason I gave a 4 star on Value for price paid instead of a 5 star is because I believe all homes are overpriced no matter who built them or where they are. This one is not to bad though. Very Happy with Lennar & all of the associates working with them for you. ... More

Seasons of Southbury Sales Manager & Construction Manager were simply the best and provided outstanding customer service every step of the way!

Our first home that we purchased brand new. As we have lived in the house, we continue to find ourselves solving one problem after another. This community has extremely HARD water due to the city having well water. Everyone I'd well aware that residents would need water softner, yet the home had no room to install one. We had to get various companies to come out to give us a quote and pick ONLY the one who could install water softner components in two different locations, which asked for TOP dollars. Entire process was long and frustrating a d we had to use hard water until water softner was installed. There should have been room allocated in the closet for it. Extremely disappointing experience. The community mailbox is located on a steep slope and doesn't have appropriate access to get to it. You have to walk on the grass that's a downward slope and stand next to the mailbox slanted without having anything to hold onto and get your mailbox opened with a key to access your mail, all while being in extremely cold and snowy conditions. How can an elderly and a tiny woman feel safe checking her mail? She has to have family come and help as it's hazardous for her to do. This needs to be resolved. Please consider better ways. ... More
