Lennar Corporation
700 Northwest 107th Avenue
Miami, Florida  33172

Dear Sirs:

         We have acted as counsel to Lennar Corporation ("Lennar") in connection
with a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Registration Statement") relating to possible offerings from time to time by
Lennar in connection with transactions of the type described in the Registration
Statement of (i) its common stock, par value $.10 per share ("Common Stock"),
(ii) its preferred stock, par value $10 per share ("Preferred Stock"), (iii) its
participating preferred stock, par value $.10 per share ("Participating
Preferred Stock"), (iv) its depositary shares representing shares of Preferred
Stock ("Depositary Shares"), (v) its debt securities (which may be issued in one
or more series) to be issued under an Indenture (the "Indenture") dated as of
December 31, 1997 between the Company and Bank One Trust Company, N.A. (as
successor in interest to The First National Bank of Chicago) and supplemental
indentures executed as contemplated by the Indenture ("Debt Securities") and
(vi) warrants entitling the holders to purchase Common Stock, Preferred Stock,
Participating Preferred Stock, Depositary Shares or Debt Securities ("Warrants")
(collectively, the Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Participating Preferred Stock,
Depositary Shares, Debt Securities and Warrants are the "Securities") at initial
offering prices which will not exceed in total $400,000,000.

         Based on the foregoing, and such other examination of law and fact as
we have deemed necessary, we are of the opinion that:

         1. When the Board of Directors of Lennar authorizes the issuance of
Common Stock or Participating Preferred Stock and in accordance with that
authorization that Common Stock or Participating Preferred Stock (i) is issued
for consideration with a value at least equal to its par value in connection
with transactions of the type described in the Registration Statement, or (ii)
is issued on exercise of a right to convert Debt Securities or Preferred Stock,
or on exercise of Warrants, which are issued in connection with transactions of
the type described in the Registration Statement for consideration with a value
which, together with any amount paid at the time of the conversion or exchange,
is at least equal to the par value of the Common Stock or Participating
Preferred Stock, the Common Stock or Participating Preferred Stock will be
legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         2. When the Board of Directors of Lennar authorizes the creation and
issuance of one or more series of Preferred Stock in accordance with the
provisions of Lennar's Certificate of Incorporation relating to the issuance of
Preferred Stock and in accordance with that authorization that Preferred Stock
is (i) issued for consideration at least equal to its par value in connection
with transactions of the type described in the Registration Statement or (ii)
issued on conversion of Debt Securities or other series of Preferred Stock, or
on exercise of Warrants, which are issued in connection with transactions of the
type described in the Registration Statement for consideration which, together
with any amounts paid on conversion or exercise, is at least equal to the par
value of the Preferred Stock, that Preferred Stock will be legally issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.

         3. When the Board of Directors of Lennar authorizes the creation and
sale of Depositary Shares representing interests in shares of particular series
of Preferred Stock and in accordance with that authorization those Depositary
Shares are (i) issued for consideration at least equal to its par value in
connection with transactions of the type described in the Registration Statement
or (ii) issued on conversion of Debt Securities or other series of Preferred
Stock, or exercise of Warrants, which are issued
   2
in connection with transactions of the type described in the Registration
Statement for consideration with a value which, together with any amounts paid
on conversion or exercise, is at least equal to the par value of the Preferred
Stock, those Depositary Shares will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.

         4. When the Board of Directors of Lennar authorizes the creation of one
or more series of Debt Securities and in accordance with that authorization and
with the Indenture, those Debt Securities are (i) issued in connection with
transactions of the type described in the Registration Statement or (ii) issued
upon exercise of Warrants which are issued in connection with transactions of
the type described in the Registration Statement, if the interest on those Debt
Securities is not at a rate which violates applicable law, those Debt Securities
will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Lennar.

         5. When the Board of Directors of Lennar authorizes the issuance of
Warrants in connection with transactions of the type described in the
Registration Statement which provide for the issuance of Securities and, if the
Securities are Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Participating Preferred Stock,
upon payment of consideration which, together with the value of any
consideration given for the issuance of the Warrants, is at least equal to the
par value of the Securities being issued, and which do not contain provisions
which violate applicable law, and in accordance with that authorization those
Warrants are issued as contemplated in the Registration Statement, those
Warrants will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of Lennar.

         6. If the Boards of Directors of guarantors described in the
Registration Statement authorize those guarantors to guaranty Debt Securities
which are (i) issued in connection with transactions of the type described in
the Registration Statement or (ii) issued upon exercise of Warrants which are
issued in connection with transactions of the type described in the Registration
Statement, if the Debt Securities constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of Lennar, the guarantees will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the guarantors.

         We consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to us under the caption "Legal
Matters" in the prospectus which is a part of the Registration Statement.


                                    Very truly yours,
