Lennar Reviews in Charleston, SC

I'm sure others have covered all the typical pros & cons of the home itself. The one area I find highly frustrating is moving into a new home and it backs to a future phase that has been postponed. That land which many new homeowners view everyday since it's right in their back yard has piles of trash and debris 2 stories or higher. It also has mountains of dirt at least 3 stories high. There's more but I'll digress. My understanding is that it will be a year or more before anything is done with this mess. Lennar needs to address this in Horizon's at Summers Corner even if it's just removing the trash & huge steel containers and then leveling out the dirt. Anything would be an improvement to make this eyesore less painful to us new homeowners. ... More

Working with Lennar overall was positive. However, you have to understand what you are getting which is a quality spec home at a good price. You get what you get. They mass produce houses and you will have the occasional issue. Also certain things may or may not be included.

We love the floor plan. Was disappointed in 2 x 4 vs 2 x 6 studs. The build should have more insulation included. No major issues at this 3 months in. Closing was seamless. We hope to live here for many years.

My loan officer was great, he was their every step of the way. After the sale John reached out and checked on me. Jessy was good during the walk thru but became unresponsive after the sale was final. I did not like the fact that the house I had a contract on was still been used for site tours. No walkway in the front of the house, you must walk in the grass rain or shine to get to your front door No gutters on the house bummer. The grass was installed in the winter you have more dirt than grass present day I have all weeds. I was given a water hose for irrigation. We are in 2025, and you did not offer a smart home package ? No walking path from garage to the house, inside garage unfinished. Closing was a really bad experience; construction was going on I could not hear the attorney I have to keep asking questions as he keep repeating himself. I love the house however I fell in love the first time I walked into the model, the stairwell and the big Island take the show. Ammie the sales professional did her job by getting me interested in the house welcoming me taking me on tours connecting me with John and then she was off to the next one. I was moving from and did not have a lot of time to house hunt, Lennar was the only company that hah inventory. Anyway, this feedback will not change anything I am sure it will just go to the junk mail anyway thank you all and good luck. ... More

This is my fourth Lennar home. This experience was easier than the last but still a bit difficult. Rushing to have people close is not a good experience. Workmanship is so so. You get what you pay for.

Missy, our Lennar sales agent, has been absolutely fantastic. Her support throughout the home-buying process—and even after the purchase—has been exceptional. She’s been nothing short of 100%, A+ in working with her. That said, there were challenges outside of Missy’s control that have been disappointing in working with Lennar CS. We've encountered some issues with the quality of the construction. For instance, the vent fans (stove and bathroom) in the house seem to be a common problem, as confirmed by conversations with neighbors. They make a very loud clanking noise even with the slightest wind. Unfortunately, when we requested Lennar to investigate and resolve this, our request was denied. We’ll need to explore other solutions since the noise is often unbearable, especially when trying to sleep or work. Additionally, the exterior walls are notably thin. In one of the bedrooms, I can hear neighbors through the exterior wall as though they were only a few feet away. Also have experienced nails protruding through the carpet that is not normal (not carpet strips to hold the carpet in place) - the request to have looked at was also denied. The windows have some gunk or even damage to them - scuff marks. Lennar did agree to send out professional window cleaners to see if anything can be done. Also had a downstairs bathroom sink that has a preexisting big 'ole chip broken at the drain. They are sending someone to take a look at it also. Overall, everyone has been pleasant face-to-face, but struggling to get some help on areas that you wouldn't think would be an issue in an expensive home. Appliances work great though. ... More

The work I asked to have corrected on my house was not done. It was painted over and that was how they corrected it. Please don't schedule final inspection 2vhours before closing.

Lennar was very dishonest when it came to me having my own realtor. I was told I was filling out a form to receive updates on new home availability and later found out it locked me in with the sales office as my realtor. The project manager was great but is given limited information. Love the neighborhood but would not recommend Lennar, unless you come with a buyers agent.

This journey was amazing. I met Holly first and she showed me the availability of homes that met the criteria we discussed. She returned every phone call within minutes and was prompt for every appointment. She was very knowledgeable, and customer oriented. She was the best. Once I signed the contract on a home, I visited the site often. Brian was the main go to guy for me. When I had questions, he had answers! He was customer oriented, knowledgeable, and ahead of the project every time. He always ask me to make a list if I saw anything that needed attention to details with the construction. I made the list, but he always had every detail on my list corrected before I would see him the following day! I also was greeted by John and/or Darrell on some days as they were looking over the workmanship of the multiple laborers completing their task. They were informative, answered questions I had, and also made sure the craftsmanship was perfect as can be! They also shared suggestions and possibilities to me to make the house and property remain in perfect condition. I also looked forward to seeing Ed and Scott on my visits. They also inspected the workmanship and would oversee that any imperfection corrected. To team was meticulous! I do not know how to make it any clearer. I was part owner of a custom home construction company at one time and I know how hard this crew works to please the customer. They were all experts in their field and focused on the customers expectations. I never passed thru the neighborhood without them waving and making the effort to be sure everything was going well! One more thing…….I love my new home! Patti B. ... More

Everyone from the sales office to Customer Care made the buying process easy and stress free. It's been many years since we bought a new home and the Lennar team was wonderful.

I love my new home. I’m so excited and proud of the accomplishment.

Like used car salesman, they fast talk you to look over and past their work. The cm had no integrity and did not stand by his word. The Sheetrock was poorly done throughout the entire house and even after a month of work still not right.

From the sales associate to the loan officer everything went smoothly and met my expectations.

We searched for a community and company to buy with for 4 years in the Summerville area. Worth the way and best decision would could have ever made. Lanar made the experience and process very comfortable and pleasant. We thank the Lanar family for helping us through the process like family.

Overall experience was great. Had issues with quality of materials and of work from builders. A few issues we pointed out final walk through didnt get fixed & after closing half finished an issue we had.

I read a lot of reviews online about the horrors some people experienced with Lennar so I was a little concerned when purchasing my home in Carnes Crossroads in SC as they were the only builder. The whole mortgage process was very smooth and easy and we were informed and communicated with often. The build was also completed to our satisfaction with few items needing attention which were resolved quickly. Overall it was a good experience.

Overall we were happy with Lennar's homebuild and process. Our pre-drywall inspection according to our 3rd party was "well above average" - meaning it was done fairly well and only maintained a few critical issues. Getting these resolved required some follow-up but our construction managers were communicative and helpful to get the job done. Slight delays outside of Lennar's control caused rushing toward the end but no key items remained unresolved by closing. Again, I would recommend walking the site and staying on top of every step of the build. Some finishes could be nicer for the cost, specifically the builder-grade closet racks, mirrors, and cheap paint/unfinished garage. Would also love to see Lennar include more things in new-build purchases like towel racks/toilet paper holders; really simple and functional things are not included. ... More

As a 1st time home buyer I would say my overall experience was good.

Very friendly experience, and good community. Would like see some benches around the walking edges of the pond.

It has only been two months and we are having problems with cracking in the walls and nail pops. Caulking is also separating from the walls. The house hasn’t been there long enough to “settle” Over all the house is great.

There were delays in finishing the home, tied to the local government and permits being issued. What was troubling was that Lennar communicated a time frame that was not reliable. What was originally a late September closing turned out to be a late November. My recommendation to Lennar is to provide a time range for closing/completion, not a tentative date.

There were some issues that were found during the final walk through. I agreed to go ahead with the closing under the assumption that they would be fixed in a timely manner. It is now almost two months later and they are still not fixed.

Everyone I came across in the Lennar world was nice except for the insurance people from Lennar Insurance. They were rude and incompetent. I've been in the house for one and a half months and I am already coming across building issues. I've heard some horror stories from other residents. I wish I had spoken to others who had purchased before me

Get your own real estate agent, don’t just use the provided Lennar agent. Our agent was able to ask questions and provide information that we never would have thought of. Lennar is like any big business, they’re looking out for themselves. The Lennar agent didn’t even come to our closing. We l’ve had plumbing issues due to a pipe that was damaged prior to our purchase and 2 out of 3 of Lennar’s warranty people haven’t all been great to work with. It just depends on who you get. The houses are nice, as is our neighborhood, but you need to make sure your stay on top of things.

With all things said and done, we got a really nice home. Sales representative were helpful and did their job. But, I think the Constuction crew were very sloppy. They did leave paint and caulk spills on the cement driveways, sidewalks and garage floors thru out development.
