Lennar Reviews in Myrtle Beach, SC

A good home for the money.

Lennar has used mediocre materials in the home which reflects the price paid. Response time for getting things fixed is good.

Overall I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase. I was very hesitant buying a new construction build as I have read many reviews stating numerous problems. I've only been in my new home for a little over a month, I've had some issues that the builder addressed quickly. Quality of some construction materials are poor, no doubt to keep build costs at a minimum. That being said, the purchase price would have been higher if better materials were used. Despite the stated issues, I'm still satisfied with my purchase.

Experience was great the only draw back I had was closing , was pushed to sign paperwork early , to close end of August. To find out at later date gas lines were not installed to the development . Push closing back till end of September. After I sold my home I was with a place to stay for a month .

Holly was very helpful in facilitating our buying experience. She was always prompt and pleasant in answering our calls. The home loan experience would be better with one data form for a married couple instead of duplicating the process (really got complicated). Billy was exceptional in facilitating our warranty issues. We are now enjoying our wonderful home! Great location!

Our buying experience hasn’t ended yet. Before we move into our new home we want to get additional work done on it. The interior paint was a flat dull gray on the walls, and the ceilings were a little lighter flat gray. My wife could not live with all that gray flat paint. I mean flat paint is the cheapest paint money can buy. Also, it isn’t practical at all. Get a smudge on it and it’s there to stay! So we got a nice satin paint all around. Now we’re getting more shelving added in all of the bigger closets. Our biggest complaint regarding our Lennar experience is the fact that we had virtually no choices in anything, ie cabinets, countertops, carpet, interior color, exterior color, etc. the only choice we had was which of the floor plans on the few available lots we could get. When we purchase a half million dollar home we expect to have a few more choices. In this bull real estate market, the developers have the luxury of dictating to the buyers instead of the buyers telling them specifically what we want. Guess I’m a little old school for this type of sales and marketing… We do think that our new home is basically sound construction in all the phases. I personally think the quality of construction is better than the other national builders in our area such as, DR Horton, Pulte, Beazer, Dale Webb, etc. We’ve only encountered one problem thus far. Our landscaper could not get the irrigation system to work. He said our grass was distressed and nearly dead because of a lack of water. So we called Lennar, SC MB. We actually got a real person on the phone. I described our irrigation problem to the nice lady and she made a call and got the problem taken care of almost immediately!!! What a pleasant surprise!! Thank you!! ... More

There are some “punch list “ issues that still have not been addressed. There are a few areas with workmanship. Some corners were cut, but overall we’re very happy with our new home

Good home for the money. Issues were eventually resolved to our satisfaction.

The entire team super nice throughout the entire process. The only negative thing for us that we found living here is how close the houses are to each other and very poor noise insulation within the walls. It’s a little disturbing when you can hear your neighbors outside while you are inside and all the windows are shut. Outside walls could use more insulation.

JP, Jaclyn, and Andrew have need wonderful to deal with the light this process.

Very good response team. Thanks

The over all aspect of the build from the sales department to the project manager was five star. However, The finance aspect of the project was not very professional and misleading at times and very unresponsive, and when we did have a problem and tried to fix it, they did absolutely nothing for us, except create bigger problems. In conclusion, I would never use them to finance ever again.

Overall a good experience

Was in a hurry to close due to wife having hip replacement surgery . So did not do a thorough inspection did not use a real estate agent two mistakes I will not repeat . Overall quality seems good just poor trim and finishing work .

Overall the house is very well built. Do not have many options during the build such as electric range vs gas stove but the appliances and fixtures are very good. Very few issues with the house after completion. Customer support teams are excellent. I would buy Lennar again.

Laura F. in the sales department was great, with frequent communications and helpfulness. The closing process was smooth. My only complaint about the sales and closing process (which is a plus, actually, in the current market), is that the closing date was pushed ahead by a month and I had a temporary rental that I could not get out of, so had 2 properties for 2 months. Which DID allow a slow move-in, with ability to have contractors do work without the home being cluttered with boxes and large furniture being placed (getting in the way of painting and the like). My big "nit pick" is that Lennar advertises "everything's included" and it's FAR from that. Some things ARE included that I don't feel necessary, like the smart home features (need to add a lot of components to make it a worthwhile system - the homes are generally long and dead spots are an issue, for example - and they are pricey), while others, like patio screening and an open patio (this is the South and a beach area; folks want to be outdoors), assist bars in showers and tubs (many buying in this area are 55+, hello), blinds, ceiling fans, and a painted garage are not. But, to be honest, this is the current state of the building industry. My sister owns a home built in 2016 and it's shocking to see how many features were standard back then (different builder) and are not today. My advice is to expect a LOT of needed additions and a big budget would be helpful. ... More

Everyone we dealt with was great. No major issues and would definitely recommend Lennar to others. Thanks.

Brad the construction manager represents Lennar well. Hes been very responsive to this point with issues I've had with the home. There's a couple more issues left to get fixed.

Lennar has always there for us for any issue with the house.

My sales agent, Holly was wonderful. She gave me pros, cons, suggestions for buying, and showed sincere help thru all the steps of buying. She enabled a good price, great closing help from Lennar, answered all my questions concerning the townhouse, such as location in development, financial questions, HOA concerns, location of mailboxes, pool, etc. , the Lennar people I needed to talk to, closing questions, etc. Her response was excellent and she was very friendly.

Good value for the money. Utilities are a little higher here and propane is not something I like as much as natural gas but all the new homes at Saddle Ridge have propane tanks. Builder has been responsive to issues and they have a rep to work with for unresolved problems.

Good experience with customer services

Overall good value for new home construction in Myrtle Beach. Construction managers were all very nice and responsive. They kept us updated on construction progress, and we attended the pre-drywall meeting (definitely recommend everyone doing this). My biggest issue (and in speaking with our neighbors it is the same) is the final finishes. Drywall final skim and sand not so great, so any undulations and repairs they made are still visible. Trim and 1/4 round is some areas was not installed with pride in craftmanship. I know some builders have a "finishing team" that comes in a few days before closing to address some of these issues, but it doesn't appear that Lennar does this. And if they do, maybe they missed our house and few others on the street. Also, I wish they offered certain upgrades that we could have paid for (ie. chef's kitchen, double wall oven, flooring upgrades), but Lennar does not allow this. Overall, I give them a 4 out of 5 stars. ... More

Jessica was out loan officer .She was the BEST . Always made sure us old goats understood every communication She put in long hours and treated us like family

The builder was overwhelmed with closings and could not complete construction on our home by closing. Punch out items took an additional week after closing. We placed on contract on a nearly completed home one month prior, but the builder prioritized other homes over this one for completion.
