Lennar Reviews in Minneapolis St. Paul, MN

Get ready for delay and frustration. Priority is given to inventory homes.

It was exciting watching our house be built.

Cheap materials & very low quality of workmanship!

Average…..most things fine, others great, some poor

Once the papers were signed, Lennar became difficult to get ahold of with issues.

The layout of the home is very nice as is the exterior, However, some materials used on the interior are very cheap. The carpet is very thin and padding is lumpy. There were lots of paint touch ups needed, which Lennar has been very responsive to correct. We discover new cracks or nail pops every now and then, which we know will be repaired by Lennar, but it's still disheartening. Gutters were not included, which caused serious icing issues during winter.

Quality is cheap and house is price too high. Everything is definitely minimum standard only.

The exterior siding and trims are not good quality as well as the cabinets and doors are cheap and low quality.

Hire an independent inspector prior to closing to avoid the long delays on items discovered after closing. Note that you sign away some warranty coverage required by state to you disadvantage and to Lennar's advantage.

We liked the model, the location and the floor plan. Our buying experience was awful.

I went through a realtor which was a BIG mistake. Because of doing this I did not get to pick any countertops ,fixtures and flooring. I also did not find out anything about the neighborhood like are there going to be ant parks for children,dogs and for everyone to sit in and meet other people in the neighborhood. Also I would have found out that gutters are not put on in the back of your townhome and neither is a patio and to put one in can be quite an issue with the association here.

We had issues with 3 appliances, had to reach out multiple times to get anything done. We have not had a mailbox available for over 2 months and still do not.

Very disappointed with lot grading! When picked out the lot was a nice flat lot. Never did Lennar show us the topography map. Now we have a patio with a very steep fall off! Not happy!

Our buying experience was pretty good. Timelines were met and the team kept us informed. We did not get to customize anything outside of their choices which was frustrating. Once we got into the house we had a water leak which flooded the kitchen the first time we used the dishwasher. We noticed several other issues which makes us seriously question the quality control. Instead of staining the wood trim ends we’ve found black sharpie markers covering a missed end. I can’t even fix it now! Electrical problems have also popped up and our breakers continue to pop when we just use a vacuum. Overall, we love the house and curb appeal but really struggling with many details inside. Lennar has been responsive to the issues but it’s been 2+ months of non stop issues. ... More

Quality and workmanship are lacking. For the price I paid, I shouldn’t have windows that you can feel a breeze coming in, the woodwork was hardly attached, stonework was messy, siding had clear gaps and just over all not super happy with the home. I want a well built home for this price. Speed doesn’t impress me.

My house is still not complete.

Everything started out normal, but after we moved in we found a lot of workmanship issues and poor quality of labor. Foreman knows about it but he said not much can be done, because right now it's hard to find workers at all. But if that's the case, than the price of the house should be adjusted too...

Communication was poor, document requirements not clear

We are already selling our house as it’s not the right fit for us.

We had a great building process, but we have found so many issues since move in and lennar just keeps pushing us off and not finding fixes.

I have reached out for assistance 3 times now and it has been over a month, with NO response from our Lennar Representative.

I thought it was the right think to do to move into a new Lennar home. I bought a model that had been finished. I do appreciate the finishes in this price range and the layout and design. I had the home inspected. They resolved a couple items found on inspection including an outlet that should have been GCFI, but was not. However, since taking ownership, I have been finding defects in the home. Fiber Internet built into the home that didn't work. Crusty carpet where something had been spilled and a dent in the bathroom vinyl planking I discovered before moving in. A bathroom sink plumbed backwards between hot and cold and shoddy painting in places. I can't make any warranty claims until 90 days. Noisy neighboors despite the sales pitch about their build. In Lennar's defense, all their paperwork contained language that noise travelers between shared walls. I should not have brushed that off and should have heeded that warning. And this weekend, while it's 6 degrees outside, my furnace is barely functioning and it's 61 degrees in the house. The emergency call to the HVAC company resulted in being told that the venting pipes aren't right in the attic but they can't fix until next week. The inspector did not see this because Lennar seals the attic opening and he couldn't go up there. I now know why. Less than two months in and I realize the mistake I made. ... More

Lack of Attention To Detail and Cheap Materials

Concrete sidewalk poured 2 hours before heavy rain. Sod not staked down and all moved during rain. Dead tree planted in backyard. Ants everywhere inside. No one from Lennar cares to make it right.

Here are the list of issues we noticed within a month. 1. Sump pump outlet is not clued and after first rain, water leaked in basement. 2. Patio door and net are not installed properly. Even after fixing it, it is not smooth to open and close. 3. There is no power outlet is island. 4. 4 door having opening and closing issues. It is hard and giving sound when opening and closing. My kid is having trouble to open bathroom in living floor and we have to stay outside every time. 5. The walkway between main door and driveway is not in same level of driveway which makes kids to fell every time. This might be bigger problem in winter :( ... More
