Saturday, June 27, is the day Century Communities opens Echo Grove to the public. The builder announced the Grand Opening of the new Cumming, Georgia, community on June 25, 2026, the same day it held a VIP ribbon-cutting with a model home preview for local real estate agents.
Saturday’s event offers tours of the new model, a food truck, limited-time savings and a prize giveaway. The model is the single-story Rosewood plan, built with a detached garage.
Echo Grove is a single-family community of estate-sized homesites. Century is selling ranch and two-story plans, and a 3-car detached garage can be added. Division President Tom Bowers called it “a strong opportunity for homebuyers seeking new construction in a highly desirable North Georgia location.”
“With limited homesites, spacious designs and close proximity to Lake Lanier and key retail destinations, this community delivers exceptional value and lifestyle appeal,” Bowers said.

North Georgia Premium Outlets and Lanier Commons are close by, and downtown Dahlonega is within 30 minutes.
