Every year during the season of counting our blessings and giving thanks, we receive countless ‘thank you’ letters from happy new homeowners. This year, we’re sharing those stories so you can hear firsthand what they especially appreciated about their experience with Lennar on their journey to homeownership.

  1. “I never used to cook. We always did takeout or frozen dinners, until we bought our Lennar home at Cascata and I fell in love with my amazing kitchen. Six months later, I’m a serious cook and my husband is a happy guy. Thanks, Lennar!” Jenny R.

We know that the kitchen is the heart of a home, where family loves to congregate and delicious memories are whipped up. That’s why we put so much thought and effort into creating kitchens that are both beautiful and functional. You’ll find quality stainless steel appliance packages, cabinets in attractive designer colors, ample countertop space, and often, large islands and pantries. We think you’ll find, like Jenny, that our kitchens are simply irresistible!

  1. “We were eager to move quickly but thought we wouldn’t find a home that would be ready in time for the holidays. Then, our New Home Consultant told us about Lennar’s move-in ready homes: beautiful, brand new, and ready for us. We moved in a month later. Looking forward to hosting our big holiday celebration!” Mike P.

Unless we’re just breaking ground, most Lennar communities have a great selection of beautiful move-in ready homes that are ready to be lived in. We understand that waiting for construction to be completed is not an option for everyone, and we can deliver your home as quickly as it takes for your funds or financing to be in place.

  1. We were first-time homebuyers… we really didn’t think we could afford much of anything. We sure were in for a surprise. Our home at Magnolia Trails is perfect for us— not too big, not too small––and it’s even got smart home technology. We’re very grateful for our Lennar New Home Consultant who helped us get pre-qualified for our first home!” Maria E

Because we’re deeply committed to providing exceptional value, our newest homes include Smart Home Technology with activation and support by Amazon and voice control by Alexa, delivering safety and convenience. Additionally, Lennar’s Everything’s Included® experience ensures that you don’t have to compromise on luxury features. Our goal is to give our buyers everything they could hope or ask for.

At Lennar, we also believe in taking the stress out of home-buying. To get the ball rolling, our New Home Consultants help you get pre-qualified with our in-house lender, Eagle Home Mortgage. Once you know how much home you can comfortably afford, we’ll show you floorplans and move-in ready homes that fit your needs.

To all our loyal homebuyers who take the time to write to us and share their experiences: thank you. Your feedback means the world to us. Ensuring happy homeowners is our #1 goal and if you’re not yet a member of our extended family, we’d love to get to know you! Meanwhile, from all of us to all of you, Happy Holidays!

There’s a special pride and fulfillment that comes from gathering loved ones for the holidays at your home. Whether an intimate family affair or feast fit for a king, there is a Lennar home that is perfectly suited for your ideal holiday celebration!

Our communities and homes have features that make hosting the holidays an enticing and enjoyable experience, allowing you to save your effort for the fun parts, like decorating cookies, laying out the perfect tablescape, perhaps even dressing your beloved four-legged family members in festive outfits!

Here are four reasons why a Lennar home is the gift you deserve to get early this year:

1. The Best of Both Worlds

This holiday, choose whether you want to entertain indoors or outdoors with Lennar’s dynamic home designs, featuring spacious backyards, patios, and open interior layouts. But wait, it doesn’t have to be one or the other! Simply set up different arrangements inside and outside for a more enjoyable, inspiring event! Light some cinnamon or pine candles indoors and hang lights in the backyard for unique, yet equally cozy vibes. Regardless of where guests decide to sit and mingle, they’ll love the overall warm, festive spirit. As an added bonus, if you have guests flying (or driving) in, Cascata at MiraLago has homes offering Next Gen® suites, where they can stay comfortably in their own private quarters with a separate entrance.

2. A Kitchen Where Dreams Come True

Thanks to Lennar’s Everything’s Included® package, homeowners don’t have to compromise on luxury features. Not only is your home’s floorplan designed for maximum convenience, but it also includes deluxe kitchens at no extra charge. With stainless steel appliances, contemporary cabinets, ample counter space–often including an island–and a convenient pantry, a Lennar kitchen can easily be considered the quintessential culinary space. Combined with an open layout, most Lennar kitchens allow you to entertain while you prepare delicious meals. Sounds like the perfect recipe for hosting!

3. An Effortless Ambiance

You might be wondering how one can create a merry mood without effort. Just ask Alexa! Included in most Lennar communities, like Edge on 15th, voice control with Amazon’s Alexa can dim your lights, play holiday music, display movies and shows on a smart TV, change the temperature, and more so you can save your energy solely for spreading cheer with guests! Alexa can even help before guests arrive by providing you with recipes, setting cooking timers, creating a to-do list, and making last-minute calls! All you have to do is say, “Hey, Alexa…” and the rest is ho-ho-hosting history.

4. A Full-Blown Festive Fiesta

Conflicted about hosting at home? In many Lennar communities, you can take advantage of one of your many luxurious amenities and throw a wondrous holiday party in your exclusive clubhouse. All you’ll need to do is reserve a designated party room to make it a night to remember with over-the-top decorations, like dazzling lights, aromatic wreaths, and aesthetic backdrops!

And at Cascata at MiraLago, the clubhouse provides a stunning view of the resort-style swimming pool. Your guests will be rockin’ around the clubhouse all evening long. Even the Grinch would be jealous!

No matter your hosting style, a new Lennar home in Southeast Florida is the perfect place to gather and celebrate with the ones you love most. There’s still time to buy and move before the holiday season ends –– discover our quick move-in homes in Broward County here.

The season’s colors, sounds, lights and magic wrap Dallas-Fort Worth like the world’s largest gift.

Within just a few minutes of any of Lennar’s 93 communities throughout the Metroplex, events to make your season merry and bright include a grand parade, a tuba concert, the Radio City Rockettes and so much more.

The granddaddy of north Texas’ festivities is the Dallas Holiday Parade. Join 450,000 of your closest friends for the 31st edition of the parade that begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 1.

Dallas’ version of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, complete with marching bands, floats and family-fun activities, begins at Commerce and Houston streets. The parade is free, but you can purchase guaranteed-seat tickets here.

New homes in Dallas and in Lennar communities in Arlington, Fort Worth, Frisco and beyond are within easy reach of a veritable winter wonderland of things to do.

TubaChristmas adds a deep brass burnish to ye olde Christmas carols. The Dec. 24 concert begins at noon at Thanks-Giving Square in downtown Dallas. The family event is free.

In Arlington, with new homes in Southwind Meadows and coming soon to Elements at Viridian, homebuyers are within just 12 miles of enchantment. Make that “Enchant,” where Globe Life Park morphs from the Texas Rangers’ home park into the North Pole. With the world’s largest Christmas light maze and north Texas’ biggest Christmas tree, the spectacular setting is open Nov. 23 through Dec. 30.

Great Wolf Lodge’s Snowland runs Nov. 24 to Jan. 4 in Grapevine, within 10 miles of new homes in eight Lennar communities in Coppell, Colleyville, Euless and Irving. See a life-size gingerbread house an indoor snowfall melt into a water park.

No holiday’s complete without a Nutcracker. Among many, the Majestic Theatre features the iconic Radio City Rockettes, who perform Rockefeller Christmas with tap-dancing favorites, as well as the Nutcracker’s second act.

At The Galleria, a Hanukkah menorah lighting is held at sunset from Dec. 2 to 10. Afterward, head downstairs for ice-skating.

Finally, burn off that Thanksgiving carbo-load and get fit for all the holiday fun at The “Official” Dallas YMCA Turkey Trot with a 5k or 8-mile run on Nov. 22.

We can stuff your stocking with even more, but you can find additional information about new homes in Dallas-Fort Worth on our website. Or peruse D Magazine and THRILLIST to check out more than 100 holiday festivities.
