Neighborhood Guide
A curated guide to Forsyth County’s premier schools, rolling landscapes, and vibrant community hubs.
Cumming offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find: the breathing room of the country with the sophistication of the city. Known as the gateway to leisure living in North Atlanta, it is a place where modern farmhouses sit on acre-plus lots and where the weekend agenda is divided between mountain hikes and boutique shopping.
Anchored by the award-winning Forsyth County School System and the shimmering waters of Lake Lanier, Cumming has evolved from a quiet rural town into one of the most desirable addresses for families seeking space, safety, and community.
A Day in the Life

Start your day at Vickery Village, a master-planned community hub that feels like a European hamlet. Grab a latte and tapas at Nido Cafe or stroll through the weekly farmer's market. It’s the perfect spot to connect with neighbors before the day begins.
The Afternoon
Reconnect with nature at Sawnee Mountain Preserve. The famous "Indian Seats" trail offers some of the best panoramic views in North Georgia. For water lovers, a short drive to Port Royale Marina puts you right on the heart of Lake Lanier.
The Evening
Experience the energy of the new Cumming City Center. This sprawling development has revitalized the area's nightlife, featuring an outdoor amphitheater, putting courses, and rooftop dining at Homesteads Grill. It’s the new "living room" of the community.
