Lennar Homes

One of the nation's premier home builders, Lennar Homes, was founded in 1954 and focuses on providing buyers with complete service. The Lennar Corporation headquarters is located in Miami, Florida, and currently constructs homes and communities in 18 states across the U.S. Those states include Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Lennar strives to build town homes that are affordable, yet have the same quality and attention to detail as more expensive residences. From starter homes to retirement homes, the company works to accommodate every lifestyle. The "Everything's Included" package offers details and features in nearly every home such as fine cabinets, carpet, flooring choices, kitchen appliances including microwave and refrigerator, gas fireplace, energy saving furnace, water heater and windows, plus basement and garage.

Lennar also develops "Active Adult Communities" for home buyers who are age 55 and older. At least one person who lives in the unit must meet the age requirement. These communities are designed to meet the needs of that age group and provide a comfortable, entertaining place to retire. Age restrictions apply and while visitors are welcome and encouraged, no person under the age of 19 is allowed to live permanently in the community.

To further assist potential home buyers, Lennar has three financial companies ready to help ease the transaction. Universal American Mortgage Company, Lennar Communications ventures and North American Title Company stand ready to complete the title, mortgage and closing process for buyers. This enables buyers of Lennar homes to eliminate the search for financing and reduce time spent on paperwork.
