Lennar Reviews in Austin, TX

Still many touch ups need to be fixed

Good People to deal with...

My home buying process was super fast/easy. What I am finding out now is just lack of communication with everything. I am finding different things out as I go, and that’s the tough part. Had HOA problems, my yard flooded because I wasn’t properly walked through how to use my irrigation system, and the list goes on. I’ve asked my neighbors for lots of help and advice along this journey because it’s all so new to me.

Willingness to assist.

Lennar home buying experience was great. Our salesperson, Chris, Construction manager, Kurt, and title team were both very helpful and responsive. They answered all our questions and concerns timely. Lennar makets their homes as "Everything is included" and this can be a little deceiving. We have a smart home and that is great but I would have much rather had all my rooms wired for cable and internet than having an Alexa or Amazon show in my home. Our home only came with the living room and master bedroom wired so we have had to spend extra money out of pocket to have cable and internet installed in our home. And I will say their warranty department has definitely soured my home buying process. Trying to get a warranty issue handled takes months to get addressed and even then you get a run around of them second guessing whether it is covered under warranty or not. Our yard and our neighbors yards are clearing having flooding issues due to grading in our yard and we are still waiting for a resolution. If you say you are going to respond within a day then respond and don't make me chase you down to get an answer on the status of my warranty claim. ... More

Hardware in use were good quality, however the contractors Lennar used need more training w/o any doubt

Before signing off on the last walk thru sheet make sure ALL of the issues have been completed, we've had issues that have still not been completed. Make sure your drainage in the backyard is correct, When it rains I get a huge puddle in the middle of my backyard, water comes from underneath both neighbors fences, so I will be replacing my fence in about a year. Thanks. Something as simple as painting the PVC pipe in the front so that it matches the house still had not been done and its been 5 months.

Size and spaciousness are unrivaled. Quality of everything in the home is the cheapest it can possibly be. Buyer beware, there is NO STORAGE built into the home beyond bedroom closets and an average size coat closet. There is not one linen closet anywhere in the home. So, there is nowhere to put extra towels, bedding, etc. Home is not data ready. Homes are not wired correctly for data and using substandard data cable, nor are the cables to a centralized location in the home.

Overall the home buying process was fairly straight forward, however when I finally closed and moved into the house, the home was unfinished, there were chunks missing and scratched in my cabinets which should have been fixed when they were first installed since they were that obviously damaged, my attic access was the wrong size and was makeshift put together, the workers left a huge mess in my back yard and front yard of trash, pipe endcuts, and also the A/C wasn’t even hooked up so for the first week there was no A/C or heat. I would’ve been ok waiting and extra couple weeks to move in to have these issues fixed, but they said the home was finished and move one ready. ... More

Overall, a good experience working with Lennar.

The craftsmanship for this home was definitely lacking. Concrete Foundation: numerous area had to be refinished because much of the concrete stayed on the forms. I don’t know a whole lot but I’ve never seen concrete having to be refinished as much as this one. Drywall: Many imperfections were noticed after move-in. The house was originally painted in flat white. After repainting the house to a colored eggshell finish, a whole lot of imperfections and patches became visible. Interior corners were sprayed thicker with drywall and do not match the walls. Patches are very visible do not match either. Painting: The doors and trim were painted with a white glossy finish, however, as they painted the walls in flat white, the painted over the baseboards and merely smeared them in some areas. Condition at Transfer: The house was very dirty and needed immediate cleaning when it was handed over to us. I asked if all homes are handed to clients in this condition and was told yes. I’ve bought or built five different homes in my lifetime and this was the first time a home has been turned in to us in this condition. Most builders have much more pride than this. ... More

Lennar has some really nice floorplans and finishes but the process could be better. The super we had kept lying to us instead of looking into things. For example, we asked about the flooring and he said the flooring was glued down but when the flooring needed to be repaired we found out it was floating flooring. For a track builder there were so many inconsistencies from one house to the other. Not too sure if we would buy another Lennar home.

Cindy from the sales team was amazing! Troy was wonderful in assisting us with resolving credit issues. The quality of the workmanship was subpar and the fact that I had medicine cabinets linen closets, and ample storage space in my 2 bedroom apartment and not in a $300,000 home makes the value for the price paid less than great!

The home got delayed about two months from the time they told us it would be ready. We identified a few issues during the final walk through and only one of them was addressed. We kept following up on the rest without success.

I am grateful that everything is clean and brand new, however, the quality and craftsmanship is lacking. The large kitchen sink has the wrong faucet for that sink size, something like rinsing, the sink out is impossible, and it will have to be replaced. The bathroom faucet leaks under the sink when you splash water washing your face. Over 50% of the installed lights do not work properly. It’s so dim, it’s difficult to see for example cooking in the kitchen or putting on make up in your master bathroom. The backyard is not level. There’s so many large hole like ditches, I have rolled my ankle a few times, I was dismissed & told “it will level out” ? Lennar warranty company has been attentive to most of my request, but I’m told some of it is just them cutting corners and using the cheapest products there’s a garage door with no opener, in addition, there is no handle on the outside of the garage door to open it from the outside. These are just a few of the items that I’ve run across, However, I have not had any issues with the heating and air conditioning, hot water, sewer, etc. So that’s a very big positive. The neighborhood is nice and I look forward to having a clubhouse and pool eventually. I’ve not had an inspection by a private company yet so we’ll see what they say about the “bones” of the house. Thank you ... More

I just bought a house in Georgetown TX from lennar. They promised internet that I have yet to receive. The floors are cheap and you can clean it enough, glue comes out on the floors. Inside cheap materials on countertops, cabinets. Not happy with lennar

1. The kitchen and bath cabinets are low grade quality. 2. The kitchen and baths grout was not sealed. "Sealer should be mixed with grout when installed." - This Old House. 3. Exterminator quote: "Sill boards not calked - lets in lots of bugs." "Too many weep holes, not a state or local requirement."

Moved into our brand new house and eventhough all my issues, and there were many, (from sewer back up in plumbing, garage door stuck in open position, HVAC heat/cooling system not producing heat, toilet water leak, and water heater elements needing replacement) within the first three months of moving in. Not a pleasant experience.

The main reason I'm going to the trouble of writing this is to state my displeasure at one aspect of the purchase, but I'll save that for now. First I'd like to state what a good value for price my home was. It seems to be quite well made with an unusually generous part of budget having been devoted to excellent ambient lighting and electrical outlets. One generally must pay a premium for that. That's where it ends. The lovely garage comes without a garage door opener. Seriously. And zero trim work with white paint everywhere. Barren as a baby's behind. Now for my complaint. The mandatory appliance package is awful, being very clearly builder's grade and black. And inexplicably, Lennar refuses to just keep their appliances and permit me to bring my own, which I did anyway, but now it's taking up valuable space in my garage and I must go to the trouble of trying to sell it myself. This seems utterly unreasonable to me and makes me snot blowing mad. ... More

We have known issues from the final walk through that have yet to be addressed. Reported issues after the sale are still sitting in a pending status 3 months later

There are a few things that lowered your score (not sodding the whole yard, upgrading appliances, or especially not installing water purification for the incredibly hard water situation here that will mean appliance and plumbing replacements in the near future). Angel and Bianca are the best who worked with us through the process!

The home buying process wasn't too bad, but there was always a sense of urgency to do something because of the Lennar representatives. It was almost like we were pressured into buying in less than a month. There after moving in, there were a couple things missing from the home. It wasn't until almost 3 weeks after moving in someone brought what was needed. A service request needed to be submitted and a video call required, but there was no need for it. The Lennar home came with "Smart Home" features, but there was not a single Lennar rep that stopped by or would help. When signing there was multiple errors, and no one was able to provide a definite down payment amount. Besides that particular experience, everything went smoothly and I was able to apply a pretty good deal on the home which was the ultimate reason for the purchase. I would buy a Lennar again, but would definitely keep a list of things to keep my eyes on to make sure they are fulfilled before closing. ... More

Home was not ready at 2nd walk thru

I initially didn’t have any issues however when it came time to move in my house had not been cleaned and the builders left mud, trash, dirt, and urine stains in the home. My sales rep assigned to me left all my texts and emails unanswered about this issue and some other questions I had. It wasn’t until my realtor got involved that they began responding to me. They sent a cleaning crew in a few days after I had moved in who were here for a maximum of 10 minutes and did not clean up all of the mess that was still here. I ended up having to clean up the mess of the builders and pick up all the trash left behind myself. I’m happy I have a house but I’m very disappointed in the way I was taken care of by Lennar ...
