Lennar Reviews in Chicago, IL

Some parts of the house were built with exquisite quality and worksmanship. Other parts were just...not The sales department agents were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. At no time did we ever felt lack of honesty or transparency. More importantly Lennar's agents response to remedy the issues have been above and beyond, It changed our perspective of the whole experience.

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

Cheap paint and appliances. Everything else is good.

The Sales team was great. The construction side of things not so great. Zero attention to detail. If I ever purchase a new home I will definitely be sure to pay more attention to the little things.

Were still working with lennar team to fix paint, cracks in stairs, nails in carpet sticking out and widow seal issues in 2 rooms. Unsure about the experience so far to be honest.

The initial process from meeting the sales consultant to move-in was quite seamless. Lennar lending offers incentives you don't get from other banks. They have created a win-win scenario, with offers you can't refuse. The decision to buy from Lennar was easy.

Good value for the money

As a first time buyer, I was disappointed with the lack of options I had regarding building a brand new house. I didn't want dual sinks and I didn't want all the "smart house" tech, but there was no other option. Speaking of no options, I couldn't get tile or hardwood floors and I wasn't able to choose what was planted in my own front yard! Aside from those issues, the process itself was fantastic. My construction manager Jeff was extremely trustworthy and on top of everything. When we first met to go over things, he wrote down a date the house would be done by. When all was said and done, the house ended up being finished two days earlier than projected! On the walkthrough, Jeff pointed out issues we didn't even see. His honesty and integrity really put me at ease during a stressful time. The Lennar warranty is a real thing. I followed up with them about some issues with the house and the new construction manager, Brian, was on it very quickly. He also kept in constant touch with me throughout. Felicia my sales associate was very nice and would always be checking in via email and phone. Aside from frustrations on options for the house, everything else has been wonderful. I would recommend building with Lennar. ... More

Office staff was friendly and informative. The building manager was a pleasure to work with and everything went smoothly until closing day. Lennar title did not have the paperwork needed to close on time so we were delayed in the closing of our new home.

Ok, it went fine, could have had better communication on HOA fees.

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.

Standard garage is to small for a set of standard cars. Bathrooms are just adequate, could have been so much better. Tough to live in a monitored community... Big brother is always watching.

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

All the process with Lennar was very smooth and easy, and for me that I was a first homebuyer was such a relief. The thing that I appreciate most was that you can choose all the colors of your house and personalize as you want. All the staff is very pleasant and always ready for all the requests.

Good job

Construction proceeded in a timely manner. The meeting prior to drywall installation was helpful in explaining what would happen next. the walk-through prior to closing assured us all work was done well. The few minor issues we had after moving in were handled quickly, usually immediately. Other issues were handled within 1 or 2 days by the contractor involved. Happy with the results and the home.

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!

So far they have been very good to work with and workmanship is very good, this is the third house we have built and it is better than the first two by a long shot so far. Only time will tell and maybe a review at 1 year can really solidify workmanship and responsiveness to issues, So far in the first 4 weeks they have been really good. they do take care of everything from Loan, to build, to insurance and made it somewhat easy.

4 windows have leaked so far. Not happy with this. But they have come out in timely manner to seal them. Measure garage depth before buying. Your car might not fit in space

Consider the all inclusive Designer Select package. If those options were to be added later, the cost would be considerably higher.

Make sure to take photos during the Orientation, since there are many spots which they might not fix before Closing Paint job is not up to the mark

I insist, they must improve the future buyer's evaluation system because they create a state of anxiety in the family every time they request a collection and it feels like you take one step forward in the purchase process and three steps back.

Process was very straightforward and support provided at all steps.

Overall experience has been good. Construction supervisor Steve was excellent and warranty customer care man Pat are very good.

I love my house! I would definitely recommend Lennar to anyone trying to build. Doug, Pete, Colleen, and Joe were so great and incredibly helpful. My only issue occurred after my home was built. I requested a simple electrical problem to be fixed and it was never done. I got the run around from Ellen and the electrician. Needless to say my problem was never fixed.
