Lennar Reviews in Indianapolis, IN

Our homebuying journey started in January 2022 with Lennar. With the market going crazy and labor/product shortages, Lennar suspended new sales of lots. The floor plan was what we fell in love with...and after being on the top of waitlist for 4 months, they raised the price 30k and rates rose from 3 to 6%... yet decided to sign and move forward. My wife and I got to choose everything we wanted in our home and were very excited. 2 weeks after signing, we found out we were pregnant after trying for about a year! Foundation was poured, and we have our initial building consultation where we were quoted 1 inch of fall for every 10 ft per the Construction Manager. Unfortunately, that 1 inch per 10 feet became closer to 10 -12 inches per 10 ft as the home progressed. For investment purposes and my families enjoyment of the yard, we decided the lot was not something we could live with. I was not about to spend $570,000 on an almost unusable backyard due to sloping. My wife and I decided to shift to another house already being built that also was scheduled to be completed prior to the birth of our first child. Our inspector found numerous items throughout the building process which coincided with a very dry fall. During the last 3 weeks of construction, the community warranty representative was on leave, the construction manager got COVID and the main carpenter parted ways with Lennar. This left quite a few items on the home finished poorly with few workers to repair in a timely fashion as our closing was between Christmas and New Years. One such item was a broken window that was supposedly ordered prior to closing....only to find out that the construction manager was not true to his word and we now had to submit a warranty claim. If you are looking for fast acting response times from a builder, Lennar is not that builder. It took 67 days to have a broken window pane repaired after reaching out to the company on 7 separate occasions, ultimately including a call to the Indianapolis Division President. We've had shingles blow off and have to be repaired 3 times, foundation leaking via cracks by both basement egress windows, a gas leak at our oven, siding VIOLENTLY rattling at multiple points throughout the home, concrete with negative sloping towards the home at the garage threshold and at front porch, bricks left in the kiln took long and installed on the home with large cracks (dozens), crooked kitchen cabinets and handles, a very crooked stair railing, and about 20 other smaller items. My favorite, though, has to be the 7 leaking windows. We are now 107 days post-closing and they still leak every time it rains. Recently, my wife and I came downstairs to a pool of water on our dining room floor. 107 days is almost a 3rd of the 1 year warranty, which Lennar has expressed they will not extend despite the unreasonable timeframe to repair this water intrusion...not to mention this major slipping hazard for my wife and baby girl. Being a real estate agent, the silver lining is that this horrendous experience has happened to me and not a client I am representing. I couldn't imagine the negative social media publicity I would get from someone complaining about this kind of outrageous experience. I will definitely be thinking twice when consulting a client who is interested in a Lennar home in the future. The only reason the responsiveness is not a 1 star is because of Wayne. The community warranty manager that came back from medical leave to clean up someone else's mess. This guy was behind the eight ball and has been nothing put polite and responsive to my wife and I. Unfortunately, not all Lennar employees are Wayne and he alone couldn't make up for the others' mistakes/communcation. ... More

I have been disappointed in the workmanship in my home as you can see I have not rated you, very highiy

Not the best out there for sure.

Many problems as I moved in

I love my home and I hate the fact that I live across the street from a new Lennar Town Home that someone is using like a Hotel.They have 10-12 renters at one time living there that move in and out every few weeks or so.I was never told this or I would have found a better location.I gave you overall poor scores due to this and at some point I will sell this home and go find a new home.

This has been the worst experience of my life

Multiple Service Request. Electrical, Irrigation Leak, Plumbing Leak that flooded the complete home. Newest Service Requests are Roofing Caps browned off and Mortar joint missing the Mortar. Only been here six weeks and have been living thru warranty repairs the whole time. Finish paint and caulk is very bad. Three different doors that need adjusting or weather stripping.

I hated my experience with Lennar and will never t Go through this again! The lack of communication, the issues with closing, and all the little details and problems in my home like it all not being cleaned by my celebration walk. The carpets were t vacuumed, none of the windows were cleaned, scratches in my stainless steel sink as well as a dent in my refrigerator. Paint all over the breaker box. Leaves and dirt in my garage. Stains on the concrete in the garage. Almost every corner in my house is cracked. As well as the master bathroom shower. Even the doors/ walls and corners of my bathrooms are crooked. ... More

Lennar prides themselves as a production home builder to a point where their approach to a home is to build as many homes with the minimal quality and maximum profit that they can get away with legally. Where the buyer and/or potential home owner is simply writing the checks - without input and concern. They set closing dates for acceptance and turnover before the work is complete and/or inspected. They leave behind many conditions of Non-Conforming work like dead trees, code violations, grading problems and leaking roofs / insect infiltration to name just a few. There is nothing in their delivery model where they allow disclosure of their home package - inside and outside or where you can provide your expectations for your new home. You take it or you leave it! Buyer beware in any Lennar community if you value quality, partnership at a fair price. That does NOT exist with anyone at Lennar and their business culture of delivering a good product! ... More

I will never recommend Lennar home to anyone as house qualy is extremely poor, no consistency, bad materials used

I am not happy with the LENNAR. We had hard time with this purchase with Lennar. Specially the loan officer. He provided the incorrect information in disclosure. And he blamed us not reviewing the document. And later for another disclosure he did mistake on estimated closing cost and we I had to dig into email to prove he did mistake as the disclosure does not matching with what he said to us over the email. I am very upset with the response I have received from Lennar.

If you’re looking for an over priced home with no adds this is your spot. Keep your expectations extremely low if you decided to build in Troy Estates .

Like any new build there are sometimes are a few issues here and there that need to be corrected and the builder will stand behind those issues in this case there is a lot of things in place with the company to get you to tell them what’s wrong so that they can come back and take care of it the only problem is their systems keep crossing and the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing it’s been a very bad process so far and the quality of work on chip has been much less than in the past with this builder

We don’t have good experience with Lennar and will not refer any one

issue #1 Day of closing plan was not discussed or no one contacted us cause they had wrong number in system despite 10 emails to correct in systems, also not only that they just put that on saying we were late take key from here and have fun.. Issue #2 came to find out mold pre exits issue and they did handle well to resolve all though time we loose did not got reimburse cause they fixed it in timely manner how that make sense when you are buying brand new home and have to deal with this all

I feel cheated and misled

Don’t make the same mistake as I did go with a different builder.

I'm half year into my new Lennar home. Despite being promised that workmanship and quality issues will be taken care off, they did not fully deliver. There were multiple issues from day one. Most of which are dealt with. Nevertheless, Lennar were content and insistent of leaving simple things such as incorrect installation of dishwasher unfix, which speaks heavily about their lack of professionalism of some of their employees. Dissappointing and appalling.

I had very hard time with Lennar sales person and Mortigage people ,they are not co-operative and they will not include any upgrades,we have to go with their recommendations , so f you want smooth process I will not recommend Lennar homes at all .

From the beginning we have had nothing but problems, and the problems just continue. The sales process was the only part that was smooth. Throughout the build process we were continually lied to, mislead, and given empty promises. We had to fight to get things that were promised during the sales pitch. The construction manager regularly gave us the wrong information and just blatantly lied about updates and progress of certain things. The quality of the trades is WAY below substandard and unacceptable. The overall quality of our home is embarrassing. There was no accountability from Lennar on the work being done. Everything was slopped together as quickly as it could be and just absolutely no regard for how the finished product looks. Every possible corner was cut and the unskilled subcontractors performed with just a blatant disregard to details. When the quality of the workmanship was brought up it was met more lies and misinformation. In some cases, they agreed to address it but never followed through. And when it was brought up again as soon as a week later they acted like they have no idea what I was talking about. Every single bit of my new home has a problem and issue. The whole neighborhood has major issues. Since we have moved in, its been nothing but rework, and in most cases the results of rework is even worse than the original issue. They send the same unskilled laborers to “fix” the junk work they did originally. And to no surprise, the work is junk again. There are still outstanding issues from prior to closing that have not been mitigated, and no one wants to listen or address it. The problems range from major (structural/framing, plumbing, exterior siding and brick, concrete) to minor (paint, trim, cabinets, mailbox), it is literally everything in and pertaining to the home. Even the finishings are absolutely terrible. My 5 yr old could have produced a better product. Even at closing, Lennar found a way to screw everything up. The interest rate wasn’t locked in when it should have been, the down payment in the closing paper work was wrong and even the hoa dues built in is wrong. When we questioned the wrong down payment amount in the closing docs, the response was “we will just wire you back the difference.” This company is a joke! Do not waste your money!! Lennar is more concerned with how many homes they can build and how quickly, not how well or complete they can build them. ... More

Would not build with Lennar again

Lennar use to have a great reputation for a builder but all has changed today. They try maybe not enough workers but Lennar is not what it use to be. One reason I bought this house is because of Lennar's reputation but all has changed. Maybe this note will help them go back to the quality they use to have instead of trying to build more house than they can handle. Thank you!

Bad customer service Bad materials quality
