What makes Lennar different? Lennar is the second-largest homebuilder in the U.S. and is known for its Everything’s Included program, which bundles upgraded features — quartz countertops, stainless appliances, smart home technology — into the base price. Lennar builds extensively across Tampa Bay in Riverview, Wesley Chapel, Lakewood Ranch, and more.
What Is Everything’s Included?
Instead of quoting a low base price and charging for upgrades, Lennar includes features other builders charge extra for: quartz/granite countertops, stainless appliances, smart home technology, crown molding, tile flooring in wet areas, and blinds. The EI model simplifies buying — fewer surprise add-ons. However, it means less customization than builders offering a la carte upgrades.
