The contractors were very thorough and accommodating to my clients. DR Horton is basically an all inclusive builder and a great option for first time homebuyers. read more

Shot builder you will ever find who hires the cheapest trades who give you the worst quality workmanship. Nearly every home in our new community has had roof leaks/issues. They just "repaired" the poor quality original asphalt roads only to have the "repairs" road crack from end to end in less than a year. This company has lawsuit after lawsuit in every state. Avoid. read more

What a disaster this company is!!!! We've had nothing but issues since we moved into their home. Have a huge HVAC repair bill for a unit under 2 years old. Zero support from the company and rude managers. Still have things not repaired from the 1 year walk through in October 2024. Don't waste your money or you'll continue to spend money on repairs read more

I'm writing after living in a DR Horton house for a few years now. I just became aware of a lawsuit against the builders for our development due to multiple builder defects. In addition to the aggravation this causes homeowners and tenants, I'd like to offer a different perspective as to why not to buy or rent a DR Horton house. As someone in the health industry for over twenty years, I know how detrimental a home's toxic burden can be to the health of its residents. When builders cut corners and use cheap, toxic materials or fail to attach/hook up ducts and appliances properly, the health of everyone inside the home suffers. Many times, these health symptoms appear gradually and mysteriously. Headaches, fatigue, weight-loss, brain-fog and flu-like symptoms can all be signs of a toxic home. Sadly, I and many residents in my DR Horton development have suffered ill-health since moving in and have seen how costly life can quickly become due to the sheet negligence of builders like DR Horton. I would never recommend a home built by them if you want ant to retain your money or your health! read more

Holy crap! There are so many things. But right now I'm fixing our bathroom. These dudes did not use water resistant drywall or waterproof paint. That should not be a surprise, they legit did not paint the interior AT ALL. The house just had primer indoors. So, without waterproof paint, our drywall is completely f'ed. I found mold. I'm so sad we bought this house. Would have been way better to just fix up an old house with good bones. I think the bones of this house might just be untreated drywall. read more

Unfortunately cannot give less than 1 star. We bought our home a year ago and have had some items that need repaired or redone. We have been working with Jaime Rivera. He has done such a poor job with scheduling contractors, keeping the contractors doing the job the right way and otherwise stonewalling us at every turn to get these items to where they should have already been when we purchased. If he gets assigned your job, request someone else. Also, consider not buying a home here so you don't have to deal with this builder. read more

When DR Horton promises to pay your hoa for a year, beware. They write the contract in a way to pay upfront and back out of any increase in fees. Reator Conner La Pine finds any way he can to get out of paying the increase, instead of creating a positive experience for the buyer; realtors like Conner La Pine create mistrust between builders and buyers; my experience with Conner has given DR Horton a bad name. read more

Hello, I'm writing to express my dissatisfaction with our experience during and after the final walkthrough and the closing of our new home today. Despite closing on the house and having our walkthrough with Ron this morning, we encountered several issues. Many of the blue tapes indicating needed touch-ups and or painting, were simply removed, leaving the various paint tones unaddressed. During our walkthrough, we informed Connor La Pine of the incomplete work and our unwillingness to sign off until it was resolved. Connor was upset, seemingly because our lender had requested a final document at the same time. Unfortunately, he directed his frustration towards my pregnant wife, Karine Yazidzhyan, and me. He approached us in the kitchen, placed his hands on the counter, and raised his voice, saying, "I'm not worried about this paint; I'm more concerned about your loan." When I asked why, he explained that he had sent a document to our lender a week ago, and now our lender needed a different one. I reassured him not to worry about our loan and to focus on fixing the paint issues by the end of the day, as our loan would be funded by then. Connor's disrespectful tone towards my wife prompted me to ask him to leave us alone. Ron was present and called in painters to rectify the issues that should have been resolved before the walkthrough. By 2 pm, Ron confirmed that the walls had been repainted and everything was in order. Around 1 pm, our lender informed us that the funding was complete, and we could pick up our keys. Our realtor notified us around 3 pm that the keys were ready at Connor's office. When my wife and I arrived to collect our keys, Connor handed us a small bag containing the keys and garage opener, slamming them on the table in front of my pregnant wife. My wife asked if she could express her feelings about the treatment we received during the transaction. Connor's attitude, lack of customer service, and professionalism were unacceptable. As my wife tried to speak, Connor kept interrupting her. I intervened, asking him to listen. Connor then angrily declared, "You know what, we're done here!" and began to take back our keys. I stepped in and took the bag from him. He retreated to his office, where a woman who appeared to be neither a customer nor an employee, was present. I called Ron to find out who Connor's supervisor was and was given Bill Lewis' number. Despite multiple attempts, I couldn't reach him. Connor then called the police. We stayed in the office, awaiting someone to properly hand over our keys and explain essential details like the gate code, mail box location, garage opener, etc. The police arrived, listened to our account, had my wife sign, and we finally left with our keys. I believe we were subjected to profiling and discrimination. Connor's behavior towards my lender, my real estate agent, my wife and and myself, all of Middle Eastern descent, was deeply troubling. His demeanor, attitude, and passive aggressiveness are unacceptable. Is this how DR Horton treats home buyers? If I had known, I would never have considered purchasing a home from you. I demand a formal apology to my wife from Connor La Pine. Our attorneys will advise us on the next steps regarding today's distressing experience. This incident has caused my six-month pregnant wife tremendous stress, overshadowing what should have been a joyous occasion. This treatment is unacceptable and must be addressed. Purchasing a home should be a positive experience, not marred by such unacceptable behavior. I am prepared to file a complaint against Connor La Pine's real estate license for his unethical actions in attempting to withhold our keys. I have attached a photo of the three police cars that arrived due to Connor's inability to provide proper customer service. His disrespect and discrimination against me, my culture, and my family will not be tolerated. read more

D.R. Horton's contract is RIDICULOUS! -Your deposit is not really a deposit; it's a non-refundable down payment that will only be refunded under extraordinary circumstances. -Unlike most real estate deals, your deposit will NOT be placed in an escrow account, D.R. Horton is goinfg to deposit your money in their account! -Even though you're signing a contract with D.R. Horton Inc, they're NOT going to build your home. A "corporate affiliate" is (supposed) to build your home. Why is one company taking your money, but a different company is building your house? -If the home you're buying from D.R. Horton does not appraise for as much as they're charging you, too bad! You can either cancel the contract and let them keep your deposit, or you can pay them more than the home is worth (which might require putting more money down). FYI, most real estate contracts let you cancel (and get your deposit back) if the home you're buying doesn't appraise for as much as you're paying. -D.R. Horton will not provide you with a definite date that your home will be completed. They promise it will be completed within 2 years, plus any delays "beyond their control". Since they're not the company building your house, isn't everything beyond their control? -D.R. Horton is not responsible for anything another company tells them. So, if their a/c contractor tells them the a/c unit is big enough for the home, but it's not, you can't make D.R. Horton fix it. -D.R. Horton is not obligated to repair anything you say is wrong with the home's design or construction. -D.R. Horton is NOT responsible for your driveway, sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation system or streets! Who is??? -D.R. Horton only handles your home warranty issues for the first year, then they outsource the rest of your warranty to another company. Why??? -"Consumer products" are not covered under the home warranty. That means that they do not warrantee the appliances, but things like smoke detectors, garage door openers, and a lot of things in your home could be considered "consumer products" and therefore, not covered by the home warranty. -D.R. Horton will tell you when and where the closing will be, and if you can't attend when and where they tell you to, they will charge you up to $100 per day until you can be there! (I sure hope you're not on vacation when they decide that they're ready to close!). -The contract requires YOU to pay ALL closing costs. Then, they try to get you to use a title company that they own! So, their title company can charge you whatever they want for closing fees. But more importantly, you should never use a title company controlled by the seller. The title company is intended to be an independent third party who accepts your money and the seller's deed and exchanges each with the other. If you use a title company that is controlled by the seller, at some point, they will have your money before you have the deed. -The contract states that you have "personally inspected the property". When I requested that a home inspector inspect the property, things went sideways. I asked them to add to the contract that if anything major turned up on the inspection that they couldn't fix before closing, they would give me my deposit back. They refused! I wonder if there's something wrong with that house??? -The contract says you cannot rely on anything their people tell you (even if it is in an email!). You have to get all their promises in writing, in an addendum to the contract, and signed by management. Otherwise, they do not have to make good on any of their promises. They refused to put their promises to me in an addendem to the contract. Smarmy! -If you have a dispute with D.R. Horton (i.e. they don't finish your home, they don't do your punch list, you're a/c doesn't work, etc.) you cannot sue them! First, you have to take them to non-binding mediation. They don't even have to show up, even if you win, it's non-binding! Then, you might have to take them to arbitration. Even if you win arbitration, the contract limits how much an arbitrator can award you. So, you can win and still lose! I wouldn't do business with these people under any circumstances! read more

I'd highly recommend anyone looking to purchase in this community to stay away from DR Horton. My wife and I purchased a home in Arabella to be built back in December 2022, at the bottom of the market when the Builders - including this community - were desperate for customers and were giving away the farm to close homes. We negotiated a fair purchase price with included concessions that was normal for the market at that time of contract signing, but we're unable to lock in our rate due to the 8-month build time. We patiently waited 8-months for the home to be built, all while they advertised incentivized rates of 5.75% to customers walking in for spec homes, were consistent during the entirety of construction. Unfortunately, rates stayed in the high 6% range and never came down during the time it was ready for us to close. My wife and I did not feel comfortable moving forward with our closing at the rate that DR Horton was advertising (6.875%) because anyone could walk in off the street to purchase our same home, and would get 5.75%.. So, why would I pay a higher rate? I understand that I had purchased the home for less expensive than what it is "now", but I offered to pay $20K over my contract price at what the home appraised for to get the Sales Manager, Dominic Scola and my sales rep Jonathon O'Neill to re-write the contract to allow DHI Mortgage (DR Horton's lender) to use their incentivized rate of 5.75% and DR Horton refused simply because they did not want too. We also offered my Agent to credit back 1% of his commissions to make the deal work - this would have net them $26,000 MORE than my agreed upon contract and after several solutions of me offering to pay more money to get the rate, they either would ignore my emails or tell my agent they weren't interested in renegotiating. They word for word told my Realtor and I, "we would rather you cancel, so we can relist your home for sale for $770,000" and on several occasions Dominic Scola sent text messages to my Agent that said "Ouch, if your client cannot afford this home, let me know and we can cancel". The home only appraised for $750,000 - how are you going to relist it for more? I understand I signed a contract and I have a level of responsibility, hence why they kept my $10,000 earnest deposit, but you'd think if a client is being willing enough to pay more in exchange for a viable solution, you'd make it happen to ensure the transaction closes, but they refused , and with no sorrow. If you want to do business with arrogant, non-empathetic sales people - purchase from DR Horton. I'm in the Mortgage business and have worked with hundreds of Realtors and I have never seen a client on the Resale or New Sale business be treated this way. I told several Realtors how DR Horton treated me, and they said they have experienced similar experiences with Arabella and other DR Horton communities. Such a shame, they've got the perfect location and product, but poor sales practices. read more

I closed in January 2025, and ever since, it has been a nightmare. The craftsmanship is cheap. I have had to place several warranty requests, from windows to blinds to broken-off filter door clips and patio doors. In addition, I have had other contractors and noticed out-of-compliance issues from the A/C install and the incorrect unit being installed in several homes. I have also had issues with the warranty department. They started off really good, but now I cannot get hold of them. Plus, the contractor, I need a plot plan for pavers, and every time I call them, they send me to voicemail, or they pick up the phone and hang up on me. I have left several messages and no call back. What if there were an emergency? You are basically on your own to figure it out. They always tell you what they are going to do to support you in your home buying experience, but fall short in delivering. I will never purchase from Dr. Horton again. Buyer beware. read more

DR Horton - Cracked counter top after 3 months of living here repair/replace request denied - Home Developers Near Me

Year end warranty repair work is nearly impossible to get completed. The foreman/representatives do not respond in a timely manner. In fact they quit while working on your account and you won't get notified by the company until you reach out. Several companies haven't shown after 4 days of rescheduling. Several have come but had not heard any directives from the builder so they were unable to complete- again. Extremely poor communication from Dr Horton. read more

It is unfortunate I didn't see these reviews earlier. I am purchasing a home in the Palo Brea Community in Maricopa and almost all of the comments I read below have been my experience as well. Our sales agent is horrible. For some reason she was finishing another project, was put on Palo Brea for a few months, then moved off, but we got stuck with her. Horrible communication from her, the superintendent, escrow, the title company. Totally stressed out. It is too bad in this market we didn't really have a choice to finding a home. If you don't have to, I would not recommend buying a home from D.R. Horton! read more

My fiance and I have been living in our D.R. Horton home less than one month. Already this has been the worst home buying experience of our lives. This company is an absolute joke from their customer service or lack thereof to their shoddy construction. We've had one issue after another since before we moved in. Rain gutters don't match and they will become a problem when it rains. Rain pans facing the wrong direction. They should never be facing toward the house. The grading on the property even on visual inspection show that there's going to be flooding problems yet their customer service person tells me we have to wait until there's a problem to take care of the problem. They actually put cabinets in our bathroom that contain no drawers. That's unbelievable. Why do you have cabinets in the first? They're there to store your items. How can you store your items if there are no drawers? It's almost like they did some of these things hoping no one would notice. Even before we finish the purchase of the home my fiance would have to interrupt her day Time after Time because of Dr Horton requesting documents that had already been submitted. everything about this transaction before during and sense have been absolutely awful. We've lived here practically no time and it's already a horror story. We have sliding doors that don't open all the way. Electrical outlets that's sort out the rest of the power. Drain plugs that don't stop the water. And almost everything I've mentioned to D R Horton has been double talked, side talked, or they make the attempt to explain over it. As much as my fiance has been looking forward to moving into this home this morning she suggested putting it up for sale and moving somewhere else. That just broke my heart. I've since read other reviews of these properties. It would do you good to heed the warnings. Avoid DR Horton at all expense. read more

I bought a brand new Express home by DR Horton and closed escrow in December 2018. Worst decision I made in buying a home . Within months the back yard yard started eroding and huge sink holes popped up. When contacted, the builder tried passing the buck to the developer and HOA. Luckily one Customer service person was amazing and helped but kinda on the sly and not through the normal channels. Five years in it's still an issue with failing and falling retaining walls. Then within three years we have had to replace the failed microwave, stove and dishwasher. The only original and still working appliance is the refrigerator. Everything works to just after the warranty and has failed. The faucets all leaked and the tile has cracks in every room the tile was placed ( I'm sure due to failing foundation). Carpet is all fraying and matted down (needs replaced). The latest is the biggest window in the house has had the UV film in between the two pains of glass go cloudy and bubble. When I contact DR Horton they of course do not have any order number, details on who built or installed the the windows. So who do you call for replacement. Finally I got the installation company but they can't find any info and gave me the run around on who made the windows. To keep it short no one takes responsibility and everything this builder uses is so cheap that you will be replacing months after the warranty ends. I wouldn't buy another Dr Horton home in my lifetime. read more

We went into the sales office at the Radiance location and was approached by a young saleswoman who handed us a price sheet and said to look at the models and come back. We were not impressed with the models they had and went back to the office. She asked what we thought and we told her that we were looking for a floorplan that was a little bigger. That is when she must have decided that we were not what she was looking for and told us that they have a new phase coming and to watch the website. Never took our information and she just walked away. So we left and will not go back. We will wait for the other builders to start selling because we like the area. read more

Unfortunately, in 2024, Dr Horton is responsible for the third and final phase of construction in Avance Highlands (PHASE THREE). A few years ago, 2019, marked the beginning of Avance when Maracay Homes (PHASE ONE) started building a beautiful and unique community. Maracay started strong and constructed decent homes and maintained the community well. Sadly, the Avance development took a turn for the worse and has continued its decline to this day. Tripointe acquired Maracay and abruptly took over PHASE TWO construction. Tripointe allegedly fired a large number of sales, administrative, and construction staff. The construction quality and customer satisfaction plummeted. Tripointe stalled on warranty repairs, and would check off that a repair was done when it had not. They also used cheaper materials and blamed it on the "supply chain" and that the industry standard was still being met. The Warranty Portal did not store warranty requests beyond certain dates so there was no record. There was a revolving door of staff and, therefore, very poor follow-through. Unfortunately, Avance is declining further as DR Horton took over for PHASE THREE, which is the construction of 65 two-story zero-lot line duplexes. Dr Horton is among the worst builders, as demonstrated by poor Better Business Bureau scores, lousy Yelp Reviews, and national class action lawsuits. Dr Horton is notorious for poor construction and the cheapest materials. They have a super short warranty and a terrible reputation honoring it. They will try to have buyers sign for the keys at the final walk-through with the promise that unfinished work or defects will be repaired after closing. If you have the misfortune of purchasing a Dr Horton home, hire your own inspector to observe the process with plenty of photos and detailed notes with dates. Do not let Dr Horton gaslight you! At Avance, between 2019 and 2024, there were thirteen different property managers and ZERO HOMEOWNERS on the Board. Yes, you read that correctly. There are NO HOMEOWNERS on the Board. Dr Horton is the declarant until PHASE THREE is completely sold or the year 2035 (whichever comes first). Based on many complaints from owners Dr Horton was willing to form an "Advisory Committee" which is better than nothing. However, the Advisory Committee will never have any voting rights or authority. They provide feedback like what food trucks to have for special occasions, and they suggest signs etc. The City Property Management company is in a difficult position of having little support from Dr Horton and having to face the many unhappy owners. Avance has SERIOUS problems with trespassing, Airbnbs poorly run, porch pirates, zero enforcement of parking issues, dead plants for years, and wasted water in common areas. It is terribly disappointing to have a lovely pool and fitness that is overrun by trespassers and residents who break the rules with no consequences (i.e. smoking cigarettes/weed around children and refusing to put their butts out, people bringing dogs inside the pool water, obnoxious music from boom boxes, people leaving the grill filthy and appalling MOUNDS of trash, owners allowing Airbnb people to go to the community center unsupervised (not allowed, per CCRS) and hogging chairs from homeowners (six is the max per house and no reservations are permitted), people smoking crack pipes and making out in the hot tub, broken furniture and broken hot tub for months on end, etc. Also, you will likely hear gunshots and police helicopter activity at least a few times per week. This is not the fault of Avance, but know that the area is sketchy and not worth the hassles of living so close to crime and in a food desert. I sold my Avance home for 100K below market to get out of there. Hopefully, it will clean up in time. Be warned, for years, the construction will be loud and dusty, and the vehicle entry gates will be open all day. Dr Horton's construction will put extensive wear and tear on the streets not designed for heavy-duty utility vehicles. The community can expect to pay for PHASE THREE wear and tear maintenance. Dr Horton has already had residents complain to the city of Phoenix about working early in the morning and after hours without a permit. Dr Horton absolutely DOES NOT care about residents. All Dr. Horton wants is $$$ to build their shoddy duplexes and will leave the second they sell their last unit. At first impression, Avance is beautiful. Please do careful research if you spend your hard-earned $ on this mess. Why take a chance on Dr Horton? Other reputable builders act in good faith and stand behind their homes. BE WARNED about Dr Horton. INVEST in an INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR, and EDUCATE YOURSELF. GOOD LUCK because you'll need it. read more

Since we have purchased this home NEW 3 years ago in Phoenix, AZ !! I have noticed so many builder deficiencies! I have crooked cabinets and all cabinet doors SLAM SHUT- so irritating. Bath shower heads and faucets are very low grade. Every faucet is leaky, not one smooth stream. Door frames are crooked along with cabinet doors. Ugh! I feel like a half blind person built this house. Definitely NOT a perfectionist with pride. Landscaping was horrible and dead plants were never replaced. The HOA is not disciplined and most homes are extremely unkept and downright embarrassing. The wine cooler shut down after one year and now the AC MOTOR IS BLOWN! This should not happen after 3 years. I made a HUGE mistake not reading prior reviews of DR Horton homes. We just wanted to downsize to a lock and key style home. I miss Grayhawk.

When the home WAS finally finished, they made it so difficult for our home inspector, who had inspected previous builds in the area, that he could not reschedule to accommodate us. THEN they threatened to delay even further if we didn't sign on a house that was not finished. The first walkthrough was a joke and left many item on the punch list unfinished, we were told, " We will do them under warranty." and now 3 months after our 1 year walkthrough.. which we were actually being asked to do at around 6 months after move in. We are dealing with contractors that dont show up, or show up and dont do what was ordered to their work orders. Or show up and do work in less than favorable conditions which could affect their workmanship later.. which of course then will be MY responsibility. I'm afraid to look in the attic, honestly. During the initial build, they left obvious workmanship issues, that may have been up to code, but obviously should have been corrected.. in reading other reviews, I see that this is pretty common for most builders, but certainly not what I expected when purchasing my first home.. read more

DO NOT. DO NOTTTT buy a home from them. All of out AC units are breaking down on a new build that is only 2 years old. They hired the worst AC company Chas AKA "SCAM ROBERTS". Had to pay around $1,000 for repairs. The worst! read more

I am a disabled veteran that purchased a home from Dr Horton in Peoria, AZ The homes in my community all have major drainage and driveway issues that Dr Horton reps refuse to address. I am at the point where I am going to go to local and national news organizations to get help. I am also going to seek assistance from local and national veteran services organizations to assist me with getting assistance with Dr Horton I have made every effort to work with the local Dr Horton reps to no avail. I would not recommend Dr Horton with what is probably your biggest investment. They have continuously failed to address the failures in their contractors work and have left me with a home that I would not be able to sell due to the crumbling of my driveway and improper grading on the side of my home. Shame on you Dr Horton. read more
