Lennar Reviews in Charleston, SC

very nice community but the nearest school for my kids to attend is over 30 mins away and estimated bus drive is 1.5 hours. If we needed to pick up or drop off our kids it would consume over 2 hours a day spent driving. If you have kids that need to attend school do not move here. also the infrastructure has not been addressed. One builder is dropping 700 homes and the roads are single lane each way. This area is going to be a mess for several years until the growth catches up to the homes being built.

Lennar’s house plans are very well done for modern living. Materials are as advertised. Home care warranty is practically worthless. And their people can be spiteful if you get upset with their poor service.

Sod was laid dominant at the time. Once growth began weeds popped up. I was told nothing could be done. Also the sod was supposed to be rolled and two after close still not done . When the lawn service cuts they are making ruts and tearing up loss sod. Ruining the lawn!!

Kevin is horrible. Lennar mortgage ran my social security number without my consent. I had told Kevin that I had my one lender but he would not listen. I felt like he took advantage of me because I was a single mom doing this on my own.

Although we appreciate that Lennar pushed to meet our established closing date, it was at the expense of the quality and completion of certain items. We are now 4-5 months post closing and still have items unfinished. Our construction manager essentially abandoned us and it's been extremely difficult getting things fixed via the warranty group. We love the house but this did not go the way it should have.

We love the home despite the fact that we are still having to deal with punch list issues prior to closing now that we’ve been in the home for 4 months. The Lennar agent our realtor worked with was not trustworthy come to find out on things we were told early on when we decided to buy. Lennar management is horrible! I wouldn’t ever seek out to work with this builder ever again.

Experienced numerous problems from purchase to closing. Did not receive things we were told were included in house. Couldn't even get in house for a couple of days after closing. Still unresolved problems. Overall was not a good experience.

Lennar personnel promised to resolve quality/warranty issue within 30 days of closing on our house on 30 September 2019. After delays, and in some cases, multiple attempts by Lennar appointed technicians, we still have lingering issues with exterior doors. We also submitted a Lennar warranty ticket on a cracked countertop in our master bathroom that still is not resolved. The exterior doors have had added added in various places around each door that look terrible and have not solved the door sealing issues. The exterior door seals need to be replaced with new seals that reliably seal the doors and look aesthetically Correct. ... More

We've had nothing but problems since the day of closing when we walked in for final review and none of the issues had been corrected. I could give a whole list of issues and problems that almost 5 months in we are still trying to get taken care of. Seems like every time we get one resolved, another issue shows up. I wouldn't recommend them.

Seems like sales was not interested in our needs; just getting homes off the books. If we were told that they were having a sales event in July, we would have waited. We wanted the Waverly & got the largest home we could afford, the Osprey. We didn't know some of the larger homes may have a bonus room upstairs; didn't know that the there were more homes available other than the models. Would have liked to have brought our pool table, but sold because no room in Osprey. Sales person said when we do a Reverse to Purchase, would only have to put down half as much...LIE...ended up having to put down more. Wasn't told that A/C unit would be in back & outside our bedroom; the models show on the side. Back-flo is right next to it. With the small yards this takes away from our outdoor space. With Capital Gains, we can't move for 2 years. Seems like Lennar doesn't care about the homeowner's quality of life Very disappointed. We have neighbors that feel the same way. ... More

Very disappointing experience for the price of the home.

I definitely would like to arrange an inspection by leadership to see the overall work performed in my NEWLY BUILT home, especially by GMT. Specifically, with the trash found inside the walls, we reported to Leadership. And that it was found after they had to remove the shower wall for replacement less than a month after closing. And many other less-than-satisfactory issues we have endured. The quality of craftsmanship being witnessed is borderline criminal.

1. Door strike on front door is missing. 2. Baseboard trim gaping from the wall in many places. 3. Incorrect emergency contact number. 4. Stairwell had to be repainted 5 times (orange peel and runs) at our insistence 5. At final walk through windows we’re still grimy. 6. Ant infestation in house. 7. Furnace vent crooked above roofline. 8. Wood exposed around outside of former windows. 9. Concrete poured down valve box to fire hydrant.

Just as any buying experience when before after you say yes and give them the down payment to commitment, they fall Over themselves to “be there for you”. The s day you sign you’ll never hear from anybody you saw before again! The lender from Lennar didn’t know what he doing and I got emails from him requesting the same material even after I had closed. At closing, the keys my new home were mysteriously “lost”. I went to my new home with no keys. I had to stop at the sales office for the agent on duty to give me the standard key to open the house. Finally, after three days, they told me they would have to re-key the house and I would have to have a new key to the mailbox made at my own coat. I still, 6 weeks later, have not been reimbursed for that key. Pathetic customer service for a big box office store let alone a National Home Builder! The day I moved in 2 of the fire alarms were chirping. They continued to chirp every 8 hours after I would reset them with a the only long enough stick I had to reach them. On Monday morning the electrician came to the house and changed the batteries and that resolved the issue. They used old batteries in the smoke detectors. 3 weeks later another smoke detector started to chirp. I knew what it was this time. I am still amazed that they used bad batteries in a new house. 3 to be exact. Not a coincidence! The sod they use in the lawns is pathetic! I have been sincerely trying to grow this “grass” with the help of a service and it just isn’t growing. The quality is sub standard. My son Kaye’s his sod last weekend and the difference in quality is worlds apart! Apparently half a million dollar homes don’t qualify for good sod! Lennar should be ashamed! ... More

This is my family's first new home purchase. I wish I could say that everything went as well as we wanted but that is simply not the case. Lennar moved our closing date several times. There was no infrastructure set up for internet in the home until 3 weeks after our closing date. The whole thing felt rushed and then ultimately stalled toward the end. I feel that Lennar just wanted to get this one penciled in the books before it was truly move-in ready. We have been here a couple of months now and have submitted multiple work orders for a Ring Security System that was not working properly (and still isn't), missing corner brackets throughout the linen closets, inaccessibility to internet, etc. Be sure to inspect your home thoroughly before moving in and make sure EVERY appliance works. Our dishwasher was not connected properly nor was our Ring system working, and there were several lights dangling in the home due to poor installation. We are thankful that the neighborhood is so friendly, and schools are rated so high because that is what is keeping us here. Lennar leaves much to be desired especially for a home that cost north of half a million dollars. ... More

Lennar was huge disappointment. Lack of communication from sales agent and construction manager made the purchase and building process very frustrating and difficult. If we didn’t love the neighborhood we would have walked away.

The overall home buying experience was not good. The construction manager was the absolute worse. The quality of the home is very cheap and already falling apart. I will never purchase or recommend a Lennar Home to anyone.

After all the headache, not worth it.

The whole experience could have been better. Everything from the time my Earnest money was taken to the quality of the finished product.

Not at all happy at the moment with Lennar!! Hopefully , the issues with our home purchase , which are many are resolved in a reasonable amount of time..

Do not buy with this builder. All they care about is money and not the customer. My realtor even said this is the worst builder she has ever dealt with and will not recommend this builder to any of her clients ever again.

Would not recommend. Everything Included is a lie. Never getting a Lennar again.

Was horrible and won’t ever buy another Lennar home

Poor materials used and sloppy craftsmanship.

Monitor the work throughout the process. Many of the trades do subpar work and the construction manager failed to do to his job. If you can be here everyday to check on the progress than you might be ok. If you're forced to rely on the construction manager...well good luck.
