Lennar Homes Reviews

I was relocating to San Antonio for a new position and needed to be in the South due to proximity to work. I was not familiar with which builders were down in that area. Due to scheduling, I set an appointment with a Lennar rep in Von Ormy. I was at the model early. The Lennar sales rep did not show up to the appointment. I called and she told me her previous ran over, so she sent someone else over. I took about 5 minutes to look at the model and made a quick determination that the quality of these homes was poor. Grout was smudged in the bathroom and kitchen. Small garage, small driveway, small lot. They don't do upgrades. You can't change anything about the floorplan or build. The one positive about the experience was that the rep recommend Perry Homes and ended up buying a new build from them.

Lennar at West Square – Fort Worth, Texas.From the sales team to the mortgage lenders, this was a very disappointing experience, especially as a VA buyer. I felt like once they knew I wanted to buy the house, the focus shifted from helping me to making every dollar they could from the transaction — even $1. All they seemed to care about was getting me in the door with attractive deals. Once I decided to move forward with the purchase, the numbers changed — higher fees, a higher interest rate, and a higher loan amount.

We have been trying to resolve concerns with our Lennar home for most of 2025 and 2026, and unfortunately the lack of communication has become almost as frustrating as the original issues. Lennar arranged for an engineer to inspect our home in January 2026 after repeatedly denying our request for someone to come out since April 2025. We were initially told the engineering report would take approximately 1–2 weeks. After additional concerns were reported, the engineer returned for a second inspection in April.

I will express that they sold me a house with no insurance, forcing the new loan servicer to add force placed causing our mortgage payment to rise. They are very professional at time of purchasing, but a few years after, you start to notice all the flaws in their systems. Do not purchase Lennar homes; they are building houses in areas where they are making foundations crack. They are also having issues with roofing in terms of roof leaks a year after purchase, and other issues with wells, and the list goes on.

This is the third time I’ve written a negative review regarding Lennar’s construction quality; it is no secret that their standards leave much to be desired. First, there were issues with the finishes; then, drains clogged by construction debris—problems no one wanted to take responsibility for. Now, I’ve discovered that because no insulation was installed between the rigid A/C ducts and the ceiling in my daughter’s room, condensation has caused black mold to form on the drywall. A black stain had already appeared in the corner of her room, and a camera inspection revealed exactly what I had feared. I only hope that Lennar’s lack of oversight during construction completion and inspections doesn’t affect anyone else; if this situation poses a genuine danger, we will have to take the necessary measures—including legal action, if required.

We gave Lennar our deposit for the purchase of a home, first they accepted our offer, then said the district manager bought up those houses that were listed for sale, we want our money back in a timely manner. Excuses, excuses with getting our earnest money back; they were overnighting our check to us, so far we have not received it. We are going the legal route for the return of our money. Buyer Beware.

I have been trying to avoid receiving those damn Lennar marketing emails without any luck. What a bunch of unrespectful idiots

We recently purchased our new Lennar home in the Amber Fields community in Rosemount, and we are so happy to call this beautiful community home. From the beginning of our home-buying journey through closing and moving in, it has been such an exciting and memorable experience for our family. A special thank you to Robbie and the Lennar team for making the process smooth and enjoyable. Robbie was helpful, responsive, and always willing to answer our questions. We truly appreciate her support throughout the process.

My Experience Buying a New Lennar Home – Extremely Disappointed. I’m sharing my experience as a Lennar homeowner (Tesoro Heights in Valencia) because I believe prospective homebuyers deserve to know what we experienced before making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives. I purchased a brand-new Lennar home on June 30, 2025. Unfortunately, this was actually my second Lennar home. I had purchased a new Lennar home previously in 2013, and based on that experience, I trusted Lennar enough to purchase another new home. Looking back today, I seriously regret that decision.

When I first purchased my home, I was happy with it, and things got fixed in a reasonable time. At the two year mark, that's when the real issues started happening. I have a leak coming from either my 2nd floor window or the roof. It is causing black mold all over the drywall ceiling in my garage. And the 2nd issue is that my foundation cracked in the floor of my basement is a corner, and above the same crack there is a minor leak. They refuse to fix any of it and use sub-par contractors. After a year, they won't cover anything, and you need to read the fine print, such as what the foundation warranty covers. The lady on the phone basically told me that only if your house can't be supported by the foundation, that's when they cover it.

I had a purchase agreement on a home. They sold it to me for 1 price, advertised it continually online $4k cheaper than I paid. I showed up to check on status one evening & found the house straight across the street with a rental sign in the yard. I found out they sell cheaply to investors & then rent them out. I was looking for a decent “neighborhood “ to raise my disabled grandson in. Not a rental community with high turnover. Called loan company & cancelled agreement., I should have done my homework more thoroughly. Antler Creek, Edmond OK.

We purchased a newly built home a little over a year ago built by Lennar. Lennar supplied a one year warranty on the house. One of our first issues had to do with the landscaping. Then wiring problems popped up that almost burnt the house down. Then the interior ceiling started to sag. We found that the main shower had not been properly installed. Then we found the laminate covering all surfaces in the kitchen started peeling. We contacted Lennar as they instructed from the first month we moved in. They ignored us completely for the first 8 months. Then we threatened to get a lawyer involved, and they somehow made time to talk to us.

Recently in an attempt to relocate to WPB, came across a neighborhood referred as Arden, initially interested due to convenience of location decided to reach out to a sales person. This is my experience step by step. Sales person seemed desperately to finish sale w/o much knowledge about the community, rarely available and responsive only at times. Poor communication skills and on vacation most of the time. Quickly decided to move ahead with purchase not because of a good product but because I was in need of a place to stay to avoid a 90 min daily commute. I was referred to a Lennar mortgage company, equally unresponsive and sketchy.

Was treated great at first and then it all went upside down when we decided to cancel our purchase contract and get our deposit refunded. Went 2 weeks without a cancellation and then 2 months without a refund of my deposit. Several emails on status with no response. Then finally area manager responds after I mention the news and Better Business Bureau and states, "You signed a cancellation for Lennar to keep your deposit for a future purchase." Who in their right mind would give them money for a future purchase. If I’m canceling it’s for a reason and not to buy later. No one in their right mind would do that.

Disappointed – Major Issues with Parking, Layout, HOA, and Quality. Do your research before buying here! Living in this community has been extremely frustrating due to poor design, lack of safety features, and terrible management. Here are the main issues potential buyers need to know:

One of the worst builders you can buy. They are know for builder defects and not supporting their product. They gave us FAKE warranties on our 2 air conditioning systems. We found this out when they broke and spoke directly with the manufacturer. We had NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. The builder refused to do anything about. We had to spend THOUSANDS of dollars, but we still don't have a warranty on our AC systems. Do yourself a favor and look up mold problems and Lennar. Search for foundation problems and Lennar. Run from this builder!!!

Absolute trash!!!! Low quality homes and the AC is so bad that it is half the power it should be for a home that size. There's nothing they can do about the heat in the summertime, and I couldn't sleep for so long that I had to pay thousands to end my lease early. These people need to go to prison.

I deeply regret buying a home from Lennar. What should have been an exciting experience has turned into months of frustration. Since moving in, we’ve found multiple construction and quality issues that should never have passed inspection. The most disappointing part isn’t just the problems—it’s Lennar’s refusal to properly address them. Instead of standing behind their work, they have repeatedly dismissed our concerns or delayed taking responsibility. As a homeowner, it’s incredibly frustrating to spend so much money on a new home only to be left fighting to get legitimate issues repaired.

Lennar does not inmate clear communications. They deflect and avoid giving specific answers. While friendly, they make excuses and are inconsistent.

... Horrible finishes,... They use cheap, old, degraded products... 2 year old house has MORE problems than an established home. Poor valves (failing in as little as a year), uneven slabs, terrible tile work, ancient water heaters, stripped out cabinet hinges, non functional electrical outlets, poorly sealed windows, uneven doors, poor water pressure, cheap angle vaves.. JUST TERRIBLE AND POORLY made homes

The house is fine! No issues, the community they built is a whole another story. They failed to protect our amenities. Now we are stuck in a community where the pool may be shut down due to issues.

Their warranty solutions and customer care are pathetic. We have been treated as if we are liars and crooks. They close items with no work being performed. When you call them on it, they tell you to reopen, which means you have to explain, take pictures, and deal with frustrating AI agents all over again. After more than 30 days of this type of frustration, we received a message that these items had to be noted prior to move-in; therefore, they are not covered. Save yourself the trouble and buy from a different home builder.

This Company is the worst! I bought a home in Kingsridge recently..Cheapest construction I’ve ever seen! Stay away from this Company!!!

Lennar is currently using DECEPTIVE LISTING PRACTICES w/ their Jarrell "Summer Savings" listings. They mark down one home drastically that is NO LONGER AVAILABLE but is still showing for Sale online. They will take the appointment to view the home and when you get there they will try to sell you the higher priced homes. But, the kicker is they will NOT DISCLOSE the home still online for sale is UNDER CONTRACT with another buyer. This is EXTREMELY shady! Not only that but they will still pretend it's available and ask for you to put down a "DEPOSIT" to secure the home promising it to be "refundable" which it is not.

Lennar Homes are terrible once your annual inspection and you give them a list of issues that need to be fixed, they give you every excuse in the book not to fix anything. Our inspection guy Adam will make up any excuse not to fix your list of issues. The gutter guy did zig zag shape on the side of our house. Looks so bad. It's an eye sore! I Walked around the neighborhood. Every home like mine is straight! Not a cut and paste job. Entry way wall indents, Adam said they can fix but it will look bad. Had the same problem upstairs and drywall guy fixed it no problem when we first moved in. What's the point of Lennar asking you for a list if they are going to give you excuses. Plus, our house floors creaks. I would not recommend Lennar homes to anyone.

I am a homeowner at Towns at Ivy Creek, a Lennar community in Buford, GA. I am writing this review after 6 days without air conditioning in my home, with a newborn and young children present. I reported the issue Sunday night (Service Request #**). The diagnosis: a hole in the evaporator coil. Despite the urgency, we are still waiting on a replacement part with no confirmed ETA.

We bought our new built home in Hickory Bluffs in November 2022. Our exterior painting is already chipping and needs an entire paint job. It appears that Lennar did a lousy job by thinning out the paint. Also we have had roof issues and we would NEVER recommend Lennar. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig. DON'T BUY.

I would not recommend buying a home from Lennar. From the first day I moved in, I’ve had plumbing issues and recurring leaks. Instead of properly fixing the problems, they send the cheapest plumbing company and the issues keep coming back. Customer service has been very disappointing. They often blame the problems on other things rather than taking responsibility, and once you buy the house, it feels like they no longer want to help. The materials used also seem cheap, and the overall quality has not met expectations. Very frustrating experience. I would recommend looking at other builders before purchasing a home from Lennar.

Disappointing Long-Term Quality and Poor Customer Support from Lennar. We purchased a new Lennar home in 2020 and were initially excited about the move-in. Unfortunately, in 2026, we experienced major plumbing problems when our sewer line began backing up into the house. After an inspection, we discovered the issue was not due to normal wear and tear — the sewer line under our concrete driveway had completely separated because the pipes were never properly glued or joined during installation. This was clearly a construction defect from day one. The repair required breaking up the driveway and cost us $10,000 out of pocket.

Dealing with Lennar Homes to get a home Mortgage through them (The San Antonio ranch) was the worst experience I have ever encountered. I'm not sure anyone there knows what they are doing. A girl named Jazz was the only helpful person there. Underwriters refused to call us to explain things.... I could go on and on. We bought a 200K house for our kid to use while attending college there and with our 3M dollar home paid for, over 700K cash in the bank, making over $200K yearly and having a portfolio of over 3M in other properties paid in clear, that wasn't enough to satisfy them. They asked for some of the most ridiculous paperwork ever and I have bought many properties, so I would know. The right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing there. Their website says it's "a simple and stress free process".... my ass!! We finally paid cash for the damn house instead of going through their Mortgage process. A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE!!

We purchased our home from Lennar in Ocean Isle Beach with very specific requirements, one being there would be no vacation rentals / air bnb's. We were assured and even have in writing that there would be no short-term rentals allowed. Well, that was a lie. They had a property management company take over and now there are short-term rentals. We have had nothing but issues with the vacation rentals whose renters do not respect that this is a residential neighborhood. This weekend, we are dealing with a very loud and disruptive motorcycle gang. In addition, they promised the pool would be finished by spring. It's almost summer and the pool is not completed. This company needs to be run out of the state.

I would give this builder zero stars if I could. Buying a new build from Lennar has been a very disappointing experience due to the many problems with the home. I’ve owned existing homes before and never dealt with this level of issues. I plan to sell this house as soon as I’m able to make a profit.

Do not buy the Victoria model in the Timbers at Everlands!!! I was warned by other homeowners on my move in day that the upstairs will remain 10 degrees hotter (or colder) than the first floor. This has come to be true due to improper HVAC engineering, and neither Lennar or Strada has a fix for the issue. One construction supervisor actually told me to move the thermostat upstairs!!! Other than that we are pleased with the development and amenities.

Lennar Homes should have -5 stars! I followed all that was required of me, I sent the funds quickly and timely. They rushed me and told me send the money right away. Then we get to the closing date and they all of a sudden have questions about the funds and my credit report that they had the entire time. My family says why are they rushing this? I took it as Lennar Lenders and builders are eager to help me. Not the case!

The roof leaks after less than 2 years of construction. This is a common issue here in the Brookmill community and warranty only covers if it's less than a year.

Recently purchased a Lennar Home in Mckinney, Tx. Sales person was very nice until signed the purchase agreement. After they won't respond any e-mails nor any calls. One time I tried to visit the home before closing but sales person won't let us in. Said wait for closing. Unfortunately, I used their mortgage too. Same story. Never respond any of the calls. VERY FRUSTRATED. They give us two times the final amount. so I have to wire it two times from the bank. So I had lost $40 each wiring fee. Please stay away from this Builder. NEVER RECOMEND THIS BUILDER.

Coming up on my one year warranty, have a couple issues with my townhouse in Kingston Ridge in Lowell IN and can’t get any response from the person whose number I was given, zero response to phone calls. How do I get my issues resolved?

Multiple warranty repairs, repeat contractor visits, and quality-control concerns experienced after move-in. Independent inspection highly recommended before closing.

Title: Documented Drainage Defect — Lennar Closed Work Order Without Repair or Notification. We are homeowners at a Lennar community and have been dealing with a drainage defect since October 2025. This review is intended to help prospective buyers understand what Lennar's warranty process looks like in practice, not just on paper. The defect: Per our warranty, swales adjacent to our property must drain within 48 hours of rainfall. We have documented with timestamped photos that water persists for 72+ hours. This is a clear warranty breach, not a gray area.

When I first saw the home was a shocker, it was nothing like the home that I seen online, for I had purchase this home while I was in another state, there wasn't a refrigerator and the countertop was just some cheap material that should have been in a bathroom, the home was overrun with insects, the ceiling were in bad shape from the hallway to the sitting room, the wall were in the same condition, the flooring was coming up in spots, the rear porch was a joke as it was about 3ft wide and the yard was filled with grass and some uncontrollable weeds then there is the HOA that came in and complained about the weed (the whole division had a weed problem), they went up on price about a year later by about 50 dollars. I would not recommend them to anyone.
