Lennar Reviews

house was not ready in time but forced to buy Construction lied Sales lied Both blamed each other Still working on issues that were not taken care of after final walk through Pool is a disaster can’t get a resolution Would never buy from Lennar again check the Calusa Facebook for more examples There is a reason why your stock is falling

The house is nice, but since I’ve been in my home I have had to replace tankless heater, washer is not working well, a lot of calking is cracking, the tile is very cheap and cracking throughout the house. For the price the house is valued at , it should not be valued over 300k. The sod in the yard was put down poorly and the garage door is already messed up. Not too happy with all the things wrong but I am happy I have property and will most likely sell in a few years not what I was expecting at all.

Sold all rooms wired for cable, model has all rooms wired, city plans have all rooms wired but you did not and refused to wire all rooms in my house and did not build to city plan

My experience with Lennar has been challenging and, at times, disappointing. From the outset, several issues were either missed or inadequately addressed, including problems identified during the inspection and final walkthrough. Some repairs were delayed, minimized, or proposed with solutions that did not meet reasonable quality standards. Communication required frequent follow-up on my part, and concerns often had to be reiterated multiple times before receiving attention. While some issues were eventually acknowledged, the overall process lacked consistency, accountability, and the level of care I expected when purchasing a new home. I hope Lennar improves its inspection, repair, and customer service processes to better support future homeowners. ... More

Buying a home in a tract in a Lennar community seems to come with certain expectations, but unfortunately, the construction quality fell short. Throughout the build, it appeared there were no meaningful quality inspections. From the foundation to nearly every trade involved, workmanship was poor—issues ranged from substandard framing and electrical work to walls with extremely thin paint coats. Can be described as a dusting of paint at best The “celebration walk” was disappointing and felt like a waste of time. We hired a home inspector, but that effort was ineffective because our Lennar representative dismissed every item on the list as “not actionable.” The walkthrough itself focused on trivial things like how to turn on a faucet—basic tasks anyone already knows—rather than reviewing critical systems such as the tankless water heater and other mechanical components. Overall, the process felt rushed and unprepared. Better attention to quality control and a more meaningful final walkthrough would have made a big difference. At Lennar quality and craftsmanship does not exist. The entire process was a hurry up and build and close so Lennar can get paid type of experience. I’m doubtful anybody will even read this note, as it’s a formality that you have to show to check a metric box some where that lennar will label as customer care. For us personally, this is our fourth home new build from Pulte, KB, and William Ryan homes. Lennar is far and away our worst experience we have had. ... More

This home buying experience was frustrating from start to finish. The build quality did not match the price. Multiple issues showed up that should have been caught before closing. Finishes felt rushed and inconsistent. Communication was weak. Getting updates or answers took repeated follow-ups. Problems were acknowledged but moved slowly, if at all. Some items were marked complete without being properly fixed. Value for the price was disappointing. You pay a premium but still end up chasing basic corrections. If you expect strong attention to detail and prompt service after signing, you’ll likely be let down. I would tell buyers to document everything, push hard, and set expectations early. Do not assume issues will be handled quickly once the paperwork is done. ... More

Wasn’t able to move in on first closing day already had movers ready for set date . Had to keep having workers to come fix things that were done poorly more than twice .

If I could do it all over, I would have gone with a different builder. The quality of the home is not good. I continue to find issues and warranty reps are not helpful. I was told one thing during my walk and now I am being told something different as far as what is covered.

The quality and work done is poor. The responsiveness to issues is also not good. I would not recommend.

Our brand new home, built in 2025, was built without internet connectivity. Today, nearly two months following our closing, we still have a fiber cable running through our driveway in order to have internet/cable services. Lennar hasn’t lent even a single phone call in helping us get it resolved. Additionally, every time we use the oven we blow a breaker. We’ve put in warranty requests and for 3+ weeks we’ve been waiting for somebody to contact us to address the issue. Crickets….

Still waiting for original repairs to be done, but all I get is silence. Can’t wait for the future promises to be broken.

We were so thrilled to purchase our new home with Lennar. We had a lot of issues and the construction manager at the time was not truthful with us. We had over an inch of water standing in our basement after the drywall was installed and he said we only had a few puddles. It ended up that Lennar had to hire a restoration company to come in and found a lot of mold in our walls. It was eventually taken care of. Then when we moved in and the craftsmanship of the house is sub par. Door frames are not level and poor quality with walls. I could go on but this experience has been not stellar and this has been our 4th house we have built. ... More

My experience with Lennar revealed serious issues in both their lending partner process and the quality of the home’s construction, and buyers deserve to be aware of these problems. Lending Experience: Lennar’s preferred lender made repeated and unacceptable errors during my loan process. They entered my name wrong and my address wrong on multiple documents—basic information that shouldn’t be difficult for any competent mortgage professional. After seeing several mistakes on fundamental paperwork, I lost all confidence in their ability to handle a home loan accurately or securely. I had to switch to an outside lender at the last minute because Lennar’s own lending team could not meet a basic standard of care. Construction/Design Defect: After closing, I discovered that Lennar installed a refrigerator that is physically incompatible with the kitchen layout they built. The refrigerator handle hits the wall, the door cannot open fully, and the bottom drawers cannot be pulled out because they collide with the door. This is not a matter of preference—it is an obvious and preventable design and workmanship defect. Instead of taking responsibility, Lennar’s proposed “solutions” were: Remove the fridge drawers (so the appliance becomes partially unusable), or Charge me $500–$750 to replace the fridge with one that actually fits the space. Charging the homeowner to fix a construction error that Lennar created is unacceptable, unprofessional, and legally questionable. Under South Carolina’s implied warranty of workmanlike construction, Lennar is required to deliver a home built in a reasonably workmanlike manner, free of design defects, and suitable for normal use. A refrigerator that cannot function in its assigned space violates this warranty. Additionally, forcing a buyer to pay extra to correct a defect caused by the builder can fall under the South Carolina Unfair Trade Practices Act (SCUTPA), which prohibits deceptive or unfair business practices. Requiring an upgrade fee to make a brand-new home functional is the definition of an unfair practice. I purchased a new home with the expectation that the kitchen—and its included appliance package—would operate as intended. Instead, I received a layout that literally prevents the refrigerator from opening. Lennar needs to correct this defect at their cost, not mine. Until Lennar steps up and addresses this issue according to South Carolina law and basic professional standards, I cannot recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable builder or mortgage experience. ...

There were several areas that need attention in my home buying experience. 1- I noted to the seller representative that the address was wrong on official documents. They stated that it was only on their documents and not an issue. I repeated that my concern was that the address was registered wrong with the city. I was repeatedly told this was not the case. In the end, it was the car and the seller had to reach out to the city to correct the address. 2-the kitchen cabinets where damaged on approximately 50% of the doors. Lennar attempted to repair the damage using an abrasive pad. When I saw the repair, I told the site superintendent that it was unacceptable technique for repair. They informed me that was the best they could be done. I filed a warranty claim and the cabinet manufacturer came out and made professional repairs. Now the cabinet doors look new, as they should’ve to begin with. 3-The mater bathroom sink splashes water all over the place. I’m being told that it’s not something Lennar will address. They know there is an issue but son not think they need to take care of it ... More

I’m having bad experiences with Lennar. Take forever to fix the master shower room. And now, they excuses that the guys come to fix the shower room don’t have enough training. If he don’t, how come Lennar didn’t hiring someone have full training? Or all your employees have no license to build the home? I’m very upset when they told us they if willing to accept the money and they will not come to fix the shower room that broken!

The material used for house are very low level.

Overall experience was unsatisfactory. Lack of communication, misinformation given, cheap building materials, poor workmanship. I could go on and on. I would not purchase another home from this builder again.

If you want to pay high dollar for a cheap build with corners cut everywhere you look - buy a Lennar home. They don’t even paint (or prime) the ceilings. The things we’ve discovered after it was too late have continued to pile up and cost us over $10,000 in upgrades that should have been standard for a home of this price within the first 2 months. Stay away.

The home itself is okay. Clearly the construction crews do not take great pride in their work or craftsmanship, as we had a leak in the roof within 2 weeks of closing. It took almost a month to get that fixed, but alas, it is squared away. Getting responses from folks can be difficult, too. On one occasion after we closed, we had the construction crew for a different property using our external faucet for some reason (have it on our security cameras). Closing itself was a nightmare as they did not get the certificate of occupancy in time. It seems this is probably par for the course in terms of things waiting until the last minute, which is surprising, considering the number of homes they put up. All in all, we like the house; there are some minor attention-to-detail things that aren't the greatest, but the home itself is fine. Working with folks at Lennar can be a large PITA, and it moves very slowly to have things remedied. ... More

I asked questions along the way and was told let me find out and I will get back to you. {Never happened} one guy told me it's not like we have a check making machine here. Didn't care for that answer now they tell us it could be a year before we start getting our mail here at Mize Meadows

Very disappointed in the quality of the workmanship and of communication.Would not recommend buying a Lennar home, unfortunately.

Build is cheap, not worth what I paid for, ongoing issues since I have moved into the home.

Very poor workmanship! Still waiting on some problems to be fixed! Took the reps word for final walk through….wish I could have been there personally! Very sloppy clean & patch up job!

Your Problems encountered after moving into a new Lennar home when bringing it to the attention of the Warranty dept. that says they Guarantee your new home for 1 Full Year are Ignored & they could care less if you are Not Happy with your new home & having Basic home comforts, such as a Front door with 2 door locks, a Wall switch that should be on the wall on the right side when entering a Bathroom when the door opens to the left to turn on the ceiling light.A Shower door that is properly installed, so water does not spray past the Gaps in the door, because there are NO Door Seal Strips to block the 1/2 gaps at the Top & Bottom of the Door. ...

This is my seventh house I bought and it was the worst experience in everything from home selection, loan process, delays in moving into the home, discovering poor workmanship and a losing battle with fire ants.
