Lennar Reviews in Chicago, IL

We love our Model House called, Rutherford! We recently purchased a new construction home with Lennar Builder and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The process was smooth and the team at Lennar was extremely helpful throughout. They made sure to keep me informed every step of the way and were always available to answer any questions I had. The quality of the construction is top-notch and I love all of the modern amenities that come with the home. Overall, I had a fantastic experience with Lennar and would highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a new construction home.

Rated above with the stars

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.

Nothing but positive things to say so far. The sales process and mortgage team were great, so simply and easy. The warranty issues so far have been addressed very quickly and I am pleased with the overall quality of the building.

Good home designs, but could use some improvement. ie. outlet placement, pod light placement, space in utility room, width of bathroom doorways, and options for grab bars.

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.

Process was very straightforward and support provided at all steps.

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

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.

Have enjoyed my experience and enjoying the new home!

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.

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

I like my home but it has been a headache since first doing our walk through. I can’t believe that Lennar is okay with the condition of their homes when it is time to close. The house was dirty. Walls, floors, cabinets, windows all dirty. It has been 60 days and we still do not have grass. I want to plant flowers but unable to. I would not suggest Lennar home to others. My first new built home was Cambridge. They were so much better

The overall moving experience was great. However, I find that the workmanship is less than subpar. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m into the details. Some of the doors are rough on the bottom. There are spots on the doors where paint is missing. The kitchen cabinet doors should have stoppers on them so that when you open them, they don’t bang against the wall.

It’s a new house a lot of little things need repair we’ll see how they respond to them

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

Lot of improvements Lennar can do

We are very pleased with almost everyone who was involved in the process - from a realty and sales perspective to the construction manager to the mortgage advisor. We were less happy with the pressure apparently from management involved in the determination of our ability to afford the home. This was never actually a concern, but they became worried, and it created stress that was both unnecessary and unwanted.

We loved the sales team. Mortgage was a headache. A lot of the supplies are cheaply made and constructed “to spec” but they’re not done the right way. Like the electric box. It’s approved by village inspectors but not done the best way. The windows and wall’s allow for a lot of noise from the outside

Should have provided option for dimmable switches Closing should have been done after landscaping is finished

I would wait until the landscaping is completed before letting the buyers move in. There are cracks in the ceilings, and other small issues. The biggest problem for my wife is the noise in the early morning from truck traffic. We have purchased a newly constructed home before. My wife is disappointed with the craftsmanship of this townhome. We thought we paid top dollar, but it doesn’t feel like it.

the goal is to finish the homes so the buyers can move in, but the outside is an issue when the have to come back to pave the garage space the steps not finish to even have guest over, I understand this all comes at a later day but 2 months is a little unexpected , not sure if there waiting to finish the other homes so they can do this all at once , which is not fair to the buyers who already closed on there home

Good experience overall but too many rules

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.
