Nothing special. I’m still having small issues that have to be addressed. I hope nothing gets bad after my one year warranty ends. I like everything included and the upgrade option when I decide to sell. Other homes I looked at didn’t include nearly as much for the price.

Overall we are very happy with our home, neighborhood and our neighbors. We did have however about 14 Issues with our home after we moved in. Most were addressed and we now have only one open issue. Our biggest complaint was the continued delay on the completion date. When we signed the P&S we were told the house would be ready in February, it then was March then April then we finally closed in May. We were never told about the delays unless we asked. . So we were there every week to ask. We had sold our home in February and had to rent a condo in town for about 77 days which cost us about $6000 we did not plan on. I feel communication should be improved. ... More

*The sod that surrounds our home is not good quality - more like one would find in a field. *No gutters in rear of house - water comes off the roof like a waterfalls, causing a hole in the lawn and mud and water splashed into the lanai. *All the covers are either missing or broken that covers lawn watering (a request has been submitted some time ago to have this addressed and it still hasn’t been). *A request had been submitted some time ago to provide support to a planted tree in front, and this has never been addressed to date!

Me and my wife had what felt like a very smooth purchase. They were flexible with us on getting paperwork done. They also had everything setup and the in house lending was great. The only thing I would say is we are starting to notice some issues come up around the house and it's not many at all. Since we are first time home owners we could be digging a little too deep at things but, we are going to bring them up on our first year inspection. The house is beautiful though and the co.munity seems nice and we love our house.

Rob, Brenda, & Robin....have ALL been excellent in helping throughout the purchase & transitioning into my new LENNAR home. They’ve always been very professional & courteous with me & my requests. For the most part, Rob has been very expedient in handling fixes as well. I have been truly grateful - for the way he stepped up in one specific instance with my yard when I 1st moved in. I have a few issues I’m currntly trying to be patient on getting corrected - but I have full confidence that - those too, will be handled with the same professionalism.

All in all I am happy with our home. The only issue I have had is with our lawn. We had the sod move on our hill and I wasn't happy with their assessment. It still has a big gap and nothing has been done other then I should bag the grass when I mow.

We had a leak in our house during the first rainstorm due to a broken fan on the roof. Lennar quickly fixed the fan, but we had to escalate our grievances to get the interior damage fixed. It took 4 months and 3 contractors. I think they are expanding too fast and can't maintain the quality of customer care once they have sold you your home. We love our house, but I dread anytime I need to seek help fixing a construction issue, including a leaking exterior door.

unfortunately not all the holes needed to hang the hurricane shutters were not drilled. wirering for "smart house" didn't match what AT&T require wirering for microwave oven was not connected concrete mix used in garage and front porch crumbles easily

Could’ve provided more information about land slopes due to drainage prior to construction.

Be sure to very thorough when checking the finished product before moving. check lawn work.

Good homes

We're enjoying the new home but there are a few things that we wish were done differently. First, for the price paid, there should be a sprinkler system installed. The majority of lawns in the neighborhood have died and we had to have someone trench our new lawn to install a system after the fact. At a minimum, it should be a paid option. The fescue breed grass is a cool weather grass that requires a lot of water. Second, the green space behind our home looks like a wasteland and it's been that way for almost a few years according to neighbors. Landscaping and irrigation needs to be installed as promised. There are community infrastructure components that were major selling points for us including the jogging trail around the neighborhood and connection to the green way. Currently there are random pieces of sidewalk missing around the neighborhood which interrupt bike riding for the kids and are dangerous. It would seem these things would help sell the remaining homes. ... More

I purchased the model home, it was in a good shape but I don’t like the fact that there no warranty on the house.

The sales process was painful. I lived out of town and responses were poor. There was no flexibility during purchasing phase. The construction manager “Henry” was phenomenal and provided answers where he could. He insured all of my concerns were addressed and directed me to the appropriate person if it was out of his jurisdiction.

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.

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

The quality of the workmanship and materials is wanting.

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.

Also, another item is the toilet roll holder, I asked for someone to call back and no one has yet ( 2 weeks ago ), Seems that the holder will not hold any roll that we've used. Right now we use it as a hand towel holder?

Quickly built homes that would have been better if more care was taken with process however, but overall satisfied.

Upon moving in found out that my water had been turned off. Lennar had the city turn off my water which cost me $100 to have it turned off after hours. The day after moving in I went to do a load of laundry in the upstairs laundry room. About 30 minutes into the load water started pouring from the ceiling and into my dining room downstairs. I immediately turned off the water to the washer but it was too late. It turns out the drainage hose from the washer wasn't secured properly. Severe damage had been done. Repairs took 9-10 days and included commercial fans, ripping out floors, insulation and repairing dry wall. I felt extremely well taken care of by the project/construction manager who really expedited the process and looked after me but I felt like if it wasn't for him it would have taken much longer and that there wouldn't have been attention to detail. Other than these 2 things I love my home!. ... More

Install a recirculating pump for tankless hot water heater. Water in SC is extremely costly. The backyard I was left with is a cliff with an 80 degree grade ( we are in our 70s not able to enjoy the yard) otherwise we are enjoying the house.

Be prepared to "be on your own" , as I was told after I had moved in, papers signed, and asking questions about some very confusing things ( wi-fi, what and where certain things are, including instructions). Good thing this isn't my first house. But, I am in a "learning mode" with special circumstances. I would buy it again, because of the people you "meet" thru the process, which was smooth and painless. No regrets. And survived the "earthquake" with absolutely no damage. The only thing I would change is making the garage bigger and insulate it. Most of the locks, and dead bolts were not installed properly. Read the solar agreement carefully! The last power outage, there was NO power available for "backup". I think that should change, to be true solar energy efficient. ... More

Stay on top of all construction throughout the entire process.
