Overall, I’ve been very pleased by the service and value of my Heritage Park Lennar property; particularly the sales department (love Michelle!), and the construction side… my walk through experiences were thorough and super friendly!

Responsiveness to Warranty Repair Request

About 6 weeks after moving into our new home, we discovered one of our toilets was leaking, which caused some warping of the side of the vanity and wall trim. My husband put in a request for repair that evening and Chad responded early the next morning. He got a plumber to come out the following day and fixed it, Chad made sure to explain that he had to order a new skin for the vanity and that and the trim would be fixed as soon as the skin came in. Chad and the plumber were very kind and personable, We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a quicker response.

Worst experience of buying the home. Buying a new house is a big milestone for lots of people. The joy was taken away. Most of the staff was very unprofessional n not helpful. Worst was the mortgage department. Only good was walkthrough dept.

Brand New Home

The buying process was extremely easy. I was fortunate to have my interest rate bought down and utilizing Lennar title and home owners insurance saved me even more. The house is beautiful. The layout is nice. I am upset that the builder is not picking up the packaging mess that gets blown all over our neighborhood. Paint quality is subpar, leaving paint drops on the floor and missing one of the only lines needed to cut on my tile grout. Speaking of tile, my tile in my bathroom is beautiful minus all of the chips that the contractor obviously knew was there. My carpet has hard lumps ...

Lots of cracks in the drywall as not enough joint compound was used and other issues need to be addressed at 60 day inspection.

It was really awesome buying new home experience with Lennar Builder. They do notify the customer at the every stage of construction and keep them up-to-date. They will guide us end to end. They do have from warranty/customer support team (Sara) who has been helping us for any service requests. I would strongly recommend the Lennar Builders for buying a new home.

The entire team has been so fantastic. We had some issues with fencing and they all stepped up to help work it out. We have some minor things that need to be repaired and they were out here to inspect the next day and have scheduled for repair next week. Prompt and professional! The Lennar Team is top notch!

I have been in the service industry my entire life. This has been the worst experience since day one.

  • Alison W.

Do not be one of the first in the community as you will pay more and have less incentives than the homebuyers to follow. The construction/Lennar staff have absolutely no sense of urgency. Building material and trucks have been parked outside my completed home that blocked me from driving out of my garage. Two months in, no mail, trash from the contractors is everywhere (including the pond), sent to collections from Comed for a bill that was not mine. Comed did not recognize my address on their website and it was before I moved in, I also emailed the staff I had communication with letting ...

I'm disappointed with Upper Management. When I bought my house in Lennar's 55+ Senior Community, I asked if they would install a couple of items (Grab Bars & Higher Toilets) their answer was NO! I have lived in three other 55+ communities and they where more accommodating for older residents needs. I would not recommend Lennar to Seniors!

Quinton took care of the issues what we had ! He’s very helpful and kind in placing an order for one of our kitchen cabinet which was damaged during the installation , now we are waiting for the installer to do the installation . We have some six month issues will submit them soon. Hopefully he will take care of those issues as well . We are very happy and satisfied with Lennar Builders . Thank you !

Generally a good experience. Sales person 'Pam' was great to work with. Very trust worthy, she stood by her word, even when difficult. Minor problem with the house after Closing was resolved quickly. Minor punch list items were all completed quickly before final walk through.

Workmanship leaves a lot to be desired, there are many unfinished or poorly finished work all around the house.

There are many mistakes on the finished floor, there are spaces between the boards and pieces of the underlying material sticking out between the boards of 5he floors. Also on the floors and thresholds are dents and I was told by the first person assigned to see my problems that I had to wait 60 days before complaining. Another big issue is the fact that we don’t have a mail box yet and of course there is no delivery for packages available to us either. Hope they resolve all of these issues soon

Wish they would have been more cooperative in adding options that would be more cost effective instead wanting us to deal with it after completion
