Worst company, they build cheap houses and they have a team of nice guys that follow you trough the process of inspection before closing that they get 10 k commision if they manage to get us to make a good review and the guy does everything possible to get us to get a 5 star reviews. Then when you go to the review process is imposible to give a bad review to lennar without giving to the guy. Scammed and mafia people that have city employees in their pocket. And they all construction sue lennar for construction defects.

Worst Builder in USA
Worst Builder in USA! Scammers! Store my deposit and sold the unit while i was still under contract! Tried to contact the Managers in Las Vegas ;Marcelle Adams and Paul Parkinson and both decided to ignore my request and to find a solution to avoid legal lawsuit.

I write this in hope Lennar sees this & it helps buyer experience for others. First the good, Katie from Sales & Margaritio from service do go up & beyond!! For the most part, I like my home. I moved in 4 days ago.
The bad!
Escrow Buyers pay 100% of all fees which are normally split between a buyer & seller.
The contract ONLY favors the builder, not the buyer. You change your mind, they will keep your deposit.
They make you pay the $400 a MO HOA despite not having a single amenity built that we're paying for in our dues. I mean NOTHING! we're paying for NOTHING! This seems very unfair to charge for things we dont have. I ask & they said they have to "build their reserves" What? now im paying to build it.?
Mail & package delivery. Nobody said we cant get deliveries here of any kind. These are new streets & I guess Lennar wants us to figure out how we get delivery, when you cant find the street on a map. Because of this, I have 10 packages floating in San Diego that cant be delivered. You say pick it up?? We're elderly here and I have a 300lb bed, mattress and a whole house full of product I cant pick up alone or even know where it is now. You would think lennar would warn people or have a department that informs USPS,UPS, Fed Ex & Amazon where these houses are. I have NO idea how to get my items & Lennar has left me high and dry.
All in all, I cant say I like the community because as I said, there's nothing here that I paid for. As a designer for 35 yrs, their "all included" isn't all that. Cheap appliances I will be replacing and the cabinets are laminate as are the floors. My Microwave broke on day one & now im told i must go through Samsung for repair. After 1 day?? I would get it if it were months but day 1?? Samsung says I need to wait a week for a repair man. Why do I have to deal with this after living here 1 day?? For over 1.1 Mil, I think we deserve better materials. BTW Im in the Sycamores plan 3.
We will see if I end up liking it here when its built out but so far, Im not impressed!!

Decent in Myrtle Beach-
Writing to review my Lennar experience 2 years after closing and moving into my new home at Coopers Bluff, in Myrtle Beach, SC.
I will start by saying others in my community have had worse experiences, so perhaps I am a lucky one, or perhaps they are blowing some things out of proportion as well, both could be true.
Back to my experience, the sales agent was very nice and she was responsive. My closing went smoothly, ( I did not use Lennar as a lender).
The house had some issues at walk through, but most of those were fixed in a semi-timely manner, I had to make many calls and had a few no shows but overall not horrible. The house itself is pretty basic, no options to choose from since covid this is just the norm with these mid-grade builders like Lennar, DR, Pulte/Centex and that group, you’d need to jump up a level to like a Toll Brothers or Poert City Homes to get custom and nice workmanship, but that comes with a larger price tag as well.. so it’s the old get what you paid for thing here. My biggest complaints are I have walls that are not straight, molding that has big curves and bumps in because the wall or sheetrock is not square, some of the doors swell in humidity so they are fine on non humid days but on humid days the stick and or don’t close without being forced too, first I have seen that in any home I have ever owned. The cheap disk lights all over the house flicker on/off and different brightness each time they are turned on, sounds like it could have been a bad batch- but regardless the lighting is super cheap.
Things I like however exist as well. The floorplan is super nice, well thought out (Boston plan). We love the main floor flooring, looks great and 2 years in is still like new! The kitchen cabinets and countertops are real nice as well, compared to the much cheaper stuff they use in all the bathrooms the kitchen is a BIG upgrade in materials, so that is nice.
All in all I give it a 6/10, not super nice or quality but not the worst I have seen as well, and for the price it is exactly what it is, mid-grade build, buy a mid-grade builder, at a mid-grade price point, so in all it lines up.

Worst experience in home buying in my…
Worst experience in home buying in my life. Poor communication, fragmented process, failure to fix major defect requiring me to reach out to upper management to get things complete. The home orientation from Joe was a joke. The construction manager Brayden was rude. Closed on the house 3/28 and received sod and trees but they still have not completed placing the mulch. I even reached back to upper management earlier this week with no follow up and still NO mulch. Can’t this company just complete what’s their responsibility so i can be done with them. Buyer beware. I would not recommend the company or ever do business with them again.

Lennar Homes Terrible Quality
If you're looking for poor build quality, and a miserable warranty process, Lennar is the way to go!
The home at Harvest Ridge was built terribly, and under terrible conditions. When purchasing the home, the close date slipped a few weeks due to the exterior not being painted. They rushed the painting and did it in the cold and in the wind resulting in paint overspray all over the house.
Items identified pre-closing were not addressed, and I had to fight with them to rectify them. For example, they admitted they ran a piece of flexible conduit under a joist and the drywallers drywalled around that leaving it exposed. I had to fight them for them to somewhat fix the issue. They got lazy and decided to mount the doorbell on a piece of 2x4 instead of mounting it to the siding as the other houses had it. The doorbell and AC did not work once I closed on the house. They refused to look at the AC even during the warmer days because it wasn't "warm enough."
Also, with how the shower door is oriented, it leaks onto the baseboard causing water damage. They came out to "fix" it 3 times, and the problem still persists. Now they are essentially telling me to kick rocks.
The doors are all painted in a satin finish as well as the hinges where they should be left unpainted. This causes the doors to pick up dirt ridiculously easy. They also didn't paint the backsides of any of the handrails.
Overall terrible quality, terrible handling of warranty claims.

We have lived in our Lennar home for 4…
We have lived in our Lennar home for 4 years. The cost of the basement was over 30k (unfinished). The foundation walls had cracks in it "before" we even moved in and Lennar send a company out to repair them. We just discovered water on our basement floor and the wall was seeping during a rainstorm this week. We called Lennar and they said, it was not a foundation issue, not their responsibility and the wall was out of warranty after 2 years. Update:
Today is 4/5/2024. Professional Basement Repair came to our home yeterday per our request and at cost to us. It will be $1,700 to fix the wall from the outside of the foundation. They said whoever fixed the wall 4 years ago injected some type of sealing foam into the crack (which is suppose to work for 20-50 years, IF done correctly). This Basement Co. we are using NOW, has a 5-year warranty with their work and are using a different method of repair.

Lennar home is telling us we have to buy our own garage door opener. They have a list of items we need to buy on a brand new house. The agent was very anti social and didn't seem to try to come up with a solution or option on how they might be able to provided these items.
