Lennar Reviews

Our Lennar home is well built. We love the floor plan and the upgrades they added.

The colors on the spec sheet are not what is actually in house. We tried to go get more paint and more mulch to match and it what we bought, per the spec sheet, is NOT what was actually used. The exterior and interior was visible dirty when we moved in to the brand new home. The toilet still doesn't work right and we had a service call out within hours of closing on the new home.

It's a really Great to do Business with.

We are very happy with our home. The delivery was a little bit difficult due to a cumulation of small issues due to different reasons. But the quality, responsiveness and kindness of Lennar service team allowed us to finally been very happy with our home for the price we have paid in a very nice neighborhood.

Like any other new home, we had issues inside the apartment with the floor and other finishings. However, Lennar showed responsibility and immediate assistance to resolve all of them. They also had a big delay in the completion and function of the elevator, which has also been resolved.

A few things to list 1) Paint contractors miss many spots and the exterior paint has weak spots where they spaced the spraying 2) Faucets in downstairs bedroom and master bedroom leak onto counter if left at a lower valve setting. Lennar stated that this was within spec. Having to buy faucets that actually are long enough to not flood bathrooms. Should not be buying things to fix Lennars issues. 3) Floors are starting to gap and flex quite a bit. Downstairs laminate floors. 4) Biggest issue: Front driveway was poured before a deep freeze in the winter. Contractor did not adequately cover the driveway (used plastic as opposed to a large insulated blanket) Driveway has been flaking away and dissolving due to improper pour. Have been working with Lennar for more than 4 months to resolve issue. I'm certain they will do nothing. ... More

For the most part everything was great. There was some questionable stuff about picking items out which we never had the opportunity to do we were just given one package for our house. Once we moved in the house there was a lot of things that went wrong from plumbing, to electrical, and our drain getting clogged. I don’t know if this is normal since this is my first home I have ever purchased, however it can be frustrating at times especially when trying to get it fixed.

I am very pleased with the new home so far everything has been good, no major issues at all.

I don't think I would buy a Lennar home again at this point. There are many things that they cut back on, that really cheapened the house. For instance, our engineered wood floors have had so many chips, and peeling issues that it feels like we have a standing appointment with the flooring company, and their fixes only last a little while. Our yard is a mess. It does not appear to drain correctly, so we have algae growing on our sidewalk. Chip, our project manager says he thinks everyone is watering too much. But that is not the case. Our grass is a swampland out front. We keep asking to have someone come out and check to see if the yard is graded correctly, but he says that is not the case. How does he really know? I have taken pictures of this if you want to see. We did not get to pick our interior items, but the carpet in the bedroom looks like it is already worn out after just 3 months. There is a "divot" in the middle that appears to be no padding under it. Chip thinks it just got worn down. We could go on, but why? when no one will contact us that is higher than Chip to have these issues looked at. Chip is amazing, but there is a limit to what he can do. But at least he tries. ... More

Quality is definitely subpar in a lot of areas. They mean well, but just seemed too stretched thin, making too many mistakes and unfulfilled promises.

Plenty of issues with quality of work that is not 100% overseen by construction mgr. Continue to have issues. Will not be staying in elm valley long, and next home will not be with lennar

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

The quality of the home is subpar I have been in my residence for less than 6 months and I have already had to have major repairs to my HVAC unit and I am still looking for compensation from Lennar. The poor craftsmanship is a direct correlation to excessive billing.

Do not close on your home until everything is move in ready. Very inconvenient to try to schedule warranty items.

Never came out to put plug in sprinklers or replace dead shrubs from installing driveway.

I chose the Groves specifically because of the trees and Lennar because they leave natural trees in the back yard. Well all 4 of the 80 ft trees have died within 4 months of purchasing the property. So now I am stuck with thousands of dollars of tree removal bills plus thousands more in replacement costs because the HOA requires a specific number of trees in the back yard. Seems like Lennar could do a better job of assuring the trees are in a viable state when the house is complete. The arborists seems to think that the grade/depth of the soil in the back yard caused the trees to die. Something that the builder should be aware of. ... More

Buying experience was smooth they were on top of everything. When we moved in there were things that needed touch up on which they got it done pretty fast. Now we have more things we need fixing and the response time is a lot slower since the office is not here anymore.

The quality of the workmanship and materials is wanting.

Extremely sloppy work done. Most workers are so creepy and scary, you don't want them to come back to fix anything. Many, many holes inside and out, unfinished work, dents, paper or plastic painted over on walls. Not even cleaned before move in. Construction dust, dirt left behind. Dead plants. Just a disgrace.

97% complete, example plumber came to fix the water heater and faucet , tighten the faucet and checked the water heater. After leaving the issue still needs attention, 3% not corrected.

Overall a very good home in a desirable community. For a home of this price I would expect them to polish out the details a bit better from the get go though. They do have Sam, who is excellent at taking care of those issues...after the purchase. No major issues so far though. One advice - if you get limestone tile - seal it right away. Happy with the purchase overall!

I really am disappointed that I moved in, in March and don't have a lawn yet. People in the townhouses and other houses who moved in after me have lawns ahead of me. People in townhouses don't care about lawns. I hired and paid a lawn edging company and was told final grade would be done on my property last week. We are all waiting.

I love my new home. Lennar had great floor plans and a variety of finishing options both inside and outside the home. Unfortunately there were some issues. Home itself was great. If you end up being a winter build, be ready to go through a maddening spring. If you close on your home in the winter, you do not get a driveway, sidewalk, or sod. This makes sense given the winter conditions. Here comes the fun part, so that Lennar can make its fiscal numbers, once spring comes, they prioritize their monthly closings first and the winter closings go to the bottom of the priority list for sidewalks, driveways, and sod. The have poor communication about this and try to avoid being straight forward about their practices, they just keep saying “soon” when you ask for updates. The end up laying the sod late in the spring and it doesn’t survive, but they don’t care because they checked the box. ... More

Nice house and Good Quality

The response time to issues is certainly commendable. Within 24 hrs you get an email that they received your request. Fixed &/or replaced items almost immediately. Brian , construction supervisor, is the best. He takes the time to address all issues and makes sure proper departments are notified. When I first moved in he fixed some things himself. Kudos.
