Lennar Reviews

Cheap materials used throughout the home. When I bring issues up in the 1 year warranty, I’m told to wait until it’s closer to 1 year of being in the home before submitting problem tickets. Just overall bad experience. Will definitely go with a different home builder for the next home purchase.

We asked for a previously offered counter top, Granite, in our master bath. You would have thought we requested the holy grail. they acted like they "might" be able to do it during the 9 months build time but ultimately didn't get it done. I have expressed my disappointment over this issue multiple times with Lennar.......no response or follow up, they don't care. Love the home, don't like the service.

While I do love my house, I've had several warranty issues come up that remain unresolved with no action plan. Lennar was great up until I closed on my home. Since then, it's been a struggle to get answers on when and how my issues will be fixed.

I really enjoyed my new home up at the amount of repairs needed and the timing is not responding from the associates was unacceptable this is a new subdivision and I have heard several complaints from my neighbors as well

Had high expectations that were not met based on testimonials from friends

My first time homebuying experience has been harrowing. It had taken four months for my driveway and walkway to be laid, and I'm still waiting on the landscaping. I get most of the process is weather contingent, but I've seen other homes around me completed and the owner have yet to move in. It has been an inconvenience having to park on the street with limited parking. I love my home, but the process has been exhausting.

The buying experience was ok . It was after the sale when you notice issues that the builder refuses to fix. Like grading issues and water problems that they won't address. It is very disconcerting

1. The home that I bought had a spider and ant infestation. Expect to get a pest control maintenance plan. $$$$ 2. I was told I would get a can of touch-up paint. That never happened. I reached out to the concierge about 2 weeks ago. no response yet. 3. If I had known about the very restrictive HOA rules, I would never have bought a home here. I'm sure they petrol the neighborhood daily looking for reasons to write up home owners. 4. if you move here, don't expect your neighbors to be friendly. I had one turn and walk away when I tried to introduce myself. I know that's not the fault of Lennar. 5. I was told there was going to be miles of hike and bike trails. No! there will be miles of sidewalks. None of the currently in place walkways are wide enough for bike and foot traffic. A proper "Hike & Bike" path should be 8 to 10' wide. 6. I don't like that the mail box is at the other end of the street. that's very inconvenient. 7. Move here, and you will be married to Centric Fiber internet service. You will not be allowed to use anyone else for as long as you live in the home. I had an offer from AT&T for a cheaper plan with better service. I was not allowed to switch. AT&T was willing to install an ethernet outlet in my home office. Centric Filber was not willing to do that. 8. because of the slope of my backyard, there is no privacy at all. The back fence needs to be at least 3 foot higher. People walking and driving down the street behind my house can see into my back yard. ... More

Initiated purchase online. Sales rep never made effort to meet with us as buyers. Was very hands off and never around when we were available and responses were delayed. Agent had to press for assistance. We liked the style of house and area so we moved forward with the purchase despite his absence in the process. Was not told we would have two HOA's. While the total HOA cost was disclosed, abiding by two associations is not ideal especially as they are seperate assessments. LENNAR, we were told, is the only builder with this as they build off the main site. Wasn't told this. Couldn't get correct information on incentives, similar houses were being discounted after our purchase, other features offerred in other premium LENNAR properties were missing. I hope they improve on this. ... More

House is ok ,terrible job by clean up crew. the amount of dust from sheet rock work and painting was a lot . Filters for A/C in ceiling were clogged ( Still have one if you want to see it) was able to get my appliances registered for warranty ,but when asked who to contact nobody returned that text. Very nice neighborhood and nice area but disappointed in the house.

I asked why the overhead lights weren’t centered over the bar and was told they do it that way intentionally. My electrician and interior designer thought it was shoddy construction. There are 9 lights in the kitchen ceiling and no 3 in a straight line in any direction. Overhead lights no even grounded. I feel liike everything is the cheapest available.

Contractors work quickly and not very well. Lennar should build their own homes. There were so many work orders. This was frustrating. I didn't expect to become a construction manager after buying a home. We should get a discount. It's unfair to put that on the home buyer with all the stress of moving.

Safety Issue: There are NO railings on the walkways. This is a major falling hazard, especially for kids and elderly residents. It's an accident waiting to happen. Parking Nightmare: They gave 50 homes only 10 guest parking spots. That's one spot for every five families. It's impossible to have friends or family over. This isn't the safe or convenient community we were promised.

Overall, construction is very cheap, down to the electrical sockets which I have never seen the likes. The appliances are another issue. They will not last long. I have never seen this quality in a new build. Very disappointing. You could have done some better.

We do like our house but throughout the process we’ve realized we will likely never use Lennar again. The lender we used (through Lennar-Sam) was horrible to say the least and obviously only had Lennar in mind throughout the process. Our appraisal was much lower than we paid and that component was very unsettling with how it was taken care of. Sam was pretty manipulative when speaking about it. I have a mortgage background so I found many errors however when brought to Sam he assured me I was wrong when in the end—I was right and our numbers were completely off. The fees for closing in itself was enough for me to never refer Lennar to anyone. We’ve been having issues with an excessive water bill and Lennar seems to not want to help. The issues brought to Lennar have been fixed ONLY if Lennar is not out any money. All in all, I wouldn’t do this again. ... More

Overall did not have a good experience. Aaron and Lennar Title were amazing, but everyone else was extremely unresponsive and unprofessional. We were given an interest rate during our initial purchase agreement that later turned out to be nothing but a dream. They made promises they couldn’t keep, and it was nothing short of a nightmare. We also had a serious grading issue that we addressed during our walkthrough, and after badgering numerous people the day before our closing date because it still had not been addressed, we did not even know if we were going to close the day of or not until late afternoon. Steve the construction manager was extremely unresponsive during this whole process. We did close on the house and are enjoying it, but would not buy a lennar home again due to such a poor and unprofessional experience. ... More

Zero response to warranty issues

It's been a nightmare for the first 3 mos so far. As you spend time at the house you see more and more mistakes and lousy craftsmanship, from doors mishung, over screwed hinges, misroutered strike plates, bulges and divots in the plaster and Sheetrock over bulging framing. The absolute cheapest , but good looking kitchen and bathroom cabinets-glued and pinned together but with bad finishes on doors and pins sticking straight out of the drawer boxes and glue just floating about the boxes. Slider doors do not close properly, 'Caulkless' tub surrounds need caulk as their resolution to a leaking tub ledge! Paint, caulk, and plaster all over surfaces they don't belong on-floors knobs and hinges. Antenna wire on garage door opener was not there, flashing on entryway gutter was not there, interior garage door had water damage but was just painted over and left in place. Warranty claims are addressed but Lennnar doesn't want to take responsibility or looks for a cheap way out of it. My bedroom carpets all have trade stains on them and they've cleaned them 2x and they still want to try a 3rd cleaning solution! The paver driveway and the floor tile so far seems to be the only positives. It's disheartening to buy a newly built home and hate the sight of your own walls and doors! It's a never ending scheduling of visits and appts to review and repair( or not).just typing this review this morning has already ruined another day in my Lennar home bringing it all up on a Sunday. There's lots left out but my advise is to be careful and hire a home inspector. ... More

When I read the Lennar builder site everything seems to be high end qualities. The loan officers and other personnel are great but the building quality and workmanship is cheap, lack of caring, and attention to details. It shows in the tiles uneven and not all full has adhesive, terrible caulking, painting is cheap and easily marked, cheap shower tiles with grout not sealed, cheap carpet, no shower doors, drain very slow, washer and dryer small and low end of GE, the water line was set up incorrectly and full of sand, sliding doors constantly have bugs and debris coming through, extremely cheap windows blinds and uneven, it’s already falling apart at the back door, HVAC or thermostat no one can explain why when change from 69 to 72 within a few minutes temperature reach 72 on display or when change from 72 to 69, it jump to 75 degree working it’s way back to 69 but it takes forever to reach that setting. Constant bugs and ants and black bugs look like black pepper coming in the house. Very tiny back porch, one of the power plug the hot and ground wire was touching each other baseboards are not painted they are original color from the manufacture. Sloppy with caulking and other sticky residues, filter was dirty when I moved in causing the AC to not working properly. Garage floor are not grouted, leaving left over paint cans and buckets behind with nasty residue. Counter top not clean underneath full of white powder, some part of the kitchen are caulk and some are not. One of the kick base plate was not glue or nail in properly so it’s already fell apart in less than 1 1/2 month. My first electric bill was $205 for a very small house. I barely uses anything. above the garage has no insulation. Inside walls has no insulation, This house has no radiant barriers like my Holiday home. Smoke alarms came on randomly I had to turn of the main switch. Terrible grass in the backyard almost unusable backyard, uneven, very sharp poky grass, grow sparsely, no gutters so water coming from the roof will damage the backyard. Getting bombarded by salesman on the first day. The outlet some nice and tight but some are too loose. One of the door to the laundry room wasn’t closed properly so I had to fixed it myself. Currently I have 3 rooms AC vents closed. Two bedrooms and a bathroom to help cool master bedroom and living room cool faster, it’s not right one bit. I have my fan on 24/7 to help cool the main bedroom and living room. Would I buy Lennar again? My answer is a BIG NO! Even with low interest rate from Lennar Lender. The only good thing about Lennar at this point is their mortgage and loan officer team, 5 stars from me and their Apps and quick response team. ... More

Lennar builders don’t tell you the entire truth regarding warranty and how nothing falls under the warranty. Smoke screen of things you will receive half of the extra amenities pool etc aren’t even built because they’re so busy constantly building houses!

There was an issues on the outside and I was trying to claim that issue thru website bit it wasn’t working. So, I emailed one of the personal and haven’t got the response yet!!

We had 2 major issues, water heater not working with outside temperature about 60 degrees, AC not working with outside temperature 95 degrees. We had to take cold showers for 4 days. We had to live in 90+ temperatures without AC. We had to escalate to get anything done. Both of the above are emergencies but not for Lennar

The house has a lot of issues like it was rushed

Damage to window glass and other issues. Also electrical outlets not installed properly. Requiring calling warranty to repair.

Homes are maid cheaply no quality workmanship and material. They just look pretty. Drive way, for a 4 car garage was designed poorly. Not even 2 cars can park next to each other on the drive way without getting too close to the house. Even though I paid 25k for landscaping in the backyard, I had no input how to make it just a rectangle patch of grass with no nice shape. Not all rooms have low voltage wiring which should be standard. Cheaper houses have been pre wired for cable and internet since 20 years ago. Overall, because of the mistake original salesman made in our case, it turned out to our favor and I think we got a better lot but all those issues remains. The standards Lennar has does not make sense. You guys say you don't do certain things and not customize to be on time but, let's say why can't customers have the say so in at least the color of the countertops? It's same material, same price just different color. 1.2, 1.3 million dollars is not a small amount and for that, I should have gotten a better house. Driveway is the main thing that I'd have to get rid of all those nice plants and replace them with concrete to make driveway match the house. Or using small loose rocks on the edge where it will scatter all over the siding. Who's designing all these? Bring me in and I'd do a better job. Very disappointed in Lennar but unfortunately, it's the house that family liked because of the openness and rooms that have bathrooms and walk-in closets. But, that's how I feel. You can change that by helping me at least correct the driveway at your own cost if you want a better review and recommendation from me. Also no walkway from house to street? Bad design. ... More
