Lennar Reviews in Ocean County, NJ

Response to the punch list was/is much to long.

After moving in customer suppory and service by the Lennar team was very good.

Altogether the home is decent, but the workmanship was shoddy in places, with some carelessness, sloppiness, or not paying attention to details. And many issues that needed fixing that we pointed out even before closing still have not been fixed more than a month and a half later. The included appliances, cabinets, and flooring seem to be the cheapest Lennar could find. Some aspects of the design of the home were not thought out well, with shower heads and bathroom cabinets being too high, and the garage too small and driveway too narrow - I can barely fit my car in the garage. What's the point of a garage if you can't put your car into it!? The construction quality seemed poor also, with cracks in the foundation and split/broken 2x4s in the frame. Also options for cabinets and flooring that we saw in the model were no longer available at the time we wanted to buy. They cut back on a lot. ... More

Lennar mortgage personnel was an absolute nightmare I recommend getting your own mortgage company big time!!!

Lennar should have never got into Mortgage business they did not have a clue. Their homes are well built and I am happy with my purchase but the mortgage process was extremely stressful and a lot of unnecessary transfer of duplicate documents.

Quality of the house is good but the quality of the flooring, appliances. cabinetry and granite where below average. I knew this when I bought. My choice was to invest in replacing flooring and appliances and add hardware to cabinets when I moved in. Lennar should have gave the same quality and attention that is given to the single family homes

The workmanship and materials are sub par. For a new home, many follow up repairs are needed, which is ridiculous.

This will be a nice community. Unfortunately clubhouse and pool will still not be completed next summer. The homes are pretty well constructed but attention was not paid to detail such as the finishing work on the cabinets and flooring.

Sales department and building department are not aligned. Definitely have opportunities to improve

Experience was ok, house ok , service all just ok. Nothing special about this builder especially if you like a lot of crooked things like Ceilings, window sills and walls,

Make sure you do your homework before your walk though!!!

I wish I could have chosen some of the options myself rather than the sales agent picking everything. I also feel some of the finishes in the home could have been a better quality. I do like the layout of the house but there are things I would have done differently:, lighting, location of outlets, added towel bars, medicine cabinet etc. Short on amenities. Love the location and convenience!

HVAC system is really Bad, Lennar needs to look into it and fix the problem. We were told to keep Fan on, it is very noisy, very difficult to sleep at night. Some parts of home are very cold and upstairs is hot like oven, It is a shame builder like Lennar giving this kind of system, we have paid almost half a million for our home, this is totally unacceptable

Extremely disappointing! Would not purchase another home by builder.

House needs work. Poor masonry work Poor grounds Plants dead when we moved in Hardly any mulch Outside steps horrible mason work

People moving in to a 55+ community more than likely are going to spend their older years in their new homes. Unfortunately, Lennar and associates definitely put pricing ahead of convenience for older residents. Example: How can a person depending on a wheel chair, can claim up to the attic every three months to change the A/C filter? Two hands are need it to get a glass of water out of the refrigerator. An steep stool is necessary to get your clothes out of the washing machine, an less you are over 6 feet toll, as well as to be able to reach the laundry room shelves. The dishwasher counts wit only one cycle, and that is for one full hour. "Wood" floors are so very thin that when an small can of soup felt it made a dent. Houses are only half insulated. Garages and attics come without being painted, for the owner to add to his new expenses, a side for the very high price already paid. ... More

Very frustrating experience , things falling apart all around me

They are rushing and missing important parts of quality to the home. The construction management is not knowledgeable.

No upgrades are offered in home. This is our second move into an Adult Community. This one is poorly run.

Materials changed and fixing issues gets pushed off or not addressed.

This is poorly built home. There are multiple issues. The builder has been responsive, most of the time but not all the time. I have been given excuses as to why the air conditioner upstairs is fine, even though the 2ns story is 5-6 degrees warmer in summer than the first floor. End result is that the builder has said "tough luck and under the RWC the A/C works fine. The plumber voided the warranty on the first floor tub due to improper installation. Builder refuses to rip out the tub and re-install properly. I was given a band aid solution of inserting foam. The manufacturer said they cannot support this remedy. I can go on and on but I won't bore you. The house is pretty and the designer made fine selections for cabinetry, tiles and flooring but quality of installation leaves something to be desired. ...

Overall the home buying experience is good it's once you move in when it gets a bit tricky. Lots of finger pointing when things done get done and financial misinformation was given prior to the close. The companies chosen to do work, like lawn maintenance are not customer service friendly and there is no little to no communication from our point of contact with the HOA.

Once Lennar has your money, they are terrible with follow through on punch list items and anything else spotted after closing to do the proper repairs. Have to chase them and argue non-stop. Make sure not to close on your home until all issues are resolved beforehand!

Don’t close till all issues are resolved

If you read the reviews for Lennar they are mixed to be sure. Either very satisfied or extremely disappointed. I'm somewhere in the middle. My sales associate was great. The home is tasteful, but the build quality is only slightly above average. The house was overpriced, but isn't everything today. But for half a million dollars I would have expected more attention to detail as well as respect. Lennar Title and Lennar Mortgage should be avoided; they're snakes. Lennar Mortgage especially. Lennar credited me $10,000 even though I didn't use Lennar Mortgage due to their refusal to help me initially and then dropping the ball late in the game. Unfortunately, Lennar Title withdraw the $10k credit THREE HOURS before closing with no explanation; see you in court. Lennar delivered my home with dead, haphazardly, and poorly installed sod. Their justification, "this is what to expect when you buy a Ford instead of a Ferrari." We almost walked away from the closing, but they had us trapped. During rain showers our (as well as my neighbors) back yard is a river. I regret not buying from D.R. Horton. ... More
