Lennar Reviews in Corvallis, OR

I had a great experience of buying a brand new house with Lennar in Albany OR. The service was great!

Absolutely the best experience ever.

The experience overall was relatively painless. Representatives i spoke to were professional, receptive to concerns, and communicated information to me clearly. Only issue that came up was the report made by the private inspection I had done not being passed onto the construction lead on the home, as their were major issues with the roof that weren't addressed until I personally brought the issue up before the final walk. If I hadn't, it likely would have been missed and lead to disastrous water damage to the home. Aside from that; the construction of the home is fine. I have not detected any major issues 3~ months into my occupation of the home. I have notice several cosmetic issues, such as paint on caulked surfaces peeling off and cracking, and expected nail pops appearing over time. The only other issue that comes to mind is in regards to the ventilation of the second floor. Even with dampers and registers fully open, air flow in the upstairs of the home is very low. It's been mitigated for the most part by the addition of an AC to my HVAC; but the airflow still feels generally stagnant and I sometimes experience mild discomfort heading to a bedroom that is considerably warmer than the downstairs. Overall, I love the home. I'm proud of the decision to purchase it, and I enjoy the location. As long as Lennar works with me if and when issues come up within coverage of the warranty, then I'll have nothing to complain about. ... More

Overall we love our home. We got it for a good price. The neighborhood is great! The only complaints we have are typical for new builds. Because they are building so many and fast, they cut on cost with materials. The carpet and padding is on the lower end. The counters, while beautiful, are cheaper and stain easy. They pick lower quality wall paint so it marks up easy. Will have to replace carpet and paint in the near future.

The property is great. They got most of the issues before we moved in. Only small things popped up.

My wife and i have many properties and this was our first NEW home. Overall the experience was really great. The financing from Lennar was a real pain, but the home itself we really enjoy. Next time i think we will use our own mortgage sources but we do love the home.

The best thing I can say about it is that it is a nice looking house. I assume that because the houses are built quickly it takes a lot to keep up on quality control, but I just feel that you get what you pay for. It really feels like a nice starter home but not what I was hoping for in terms of quality. I understand that they have to save money to sell at the price point they are trying to keep but some things really feel cheap. The Home buying process is not like any other builder I have worked with. There is no flexibility or understanding from the company at all. It's their way or no way. This makes it difficult for someone selling one house and buying a Lennar house. It might be great for a first time home buyer, or someone looking for a retirement home. They have been responsive to warranty claims quickly so far. I do appreciate that service! ... More

Plans showed a long main bath counter but came w a small one. Lennar made no effort to correct the mistake, except told me they would let me back out of the contract without fault. They claim it was a marketing mistake. Then they continued to show the incorrect plan for the new home. It was very disappointing during a time that was supposed to be exciting. Lennar Mortgage was great though. And it’s a home I could actually afford, so I can’t complain too much.

Lennar is a middle entry level home. The craftsmanship is poor, the materials are lower quality and they are non apologetic for the lack of quality. Their favorite line when you look at the poor paint jobs on doors, door frames, trim, etc is "stand six feet in front of it with normal lighting conditions and if you can't see the imperfection from there......well then it doesn't exist". If their subcontractors damage the trim while doing their job they don't replace the trim......they put bondo on it and repaint it. The problem is when you sand MDF is doesn't take a paint job the same way. Oh well. ... More

Overall poor experience. No attention to detail.
