A new Toll Brothers neighborhood has opened in Cumming with price points that sit well above Forsyth County’s median housing value, underscoring how the county’s growth is pushing deeper into the luxury market. Toll Brothers at Heardmont Farms opened Wednesday, June 18, at 5030 Heardmont Trace Road, with the professionally decorated Rhinewood model home now available for tours. The company is also planning a model grand opening for Saturday, June 27, from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The community is built around larger, higher-end single-family homes aimed at buyers who want more square footage and more flexibility than the typical suburban subdivision offers. Toll Brothers says the five-bedroom designs will range from 3,674 to 5,073 square feet, with homes starting from the low $900,000s. Buyers can also personalize plans with options such as basements and multigenerational living suites, reinforcing that this is a product for households looking to stay in place longer and absorb more family needs under one roof.

Amenities are part of the pitch as well. The community is slated to include a clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts, pavilion, outdoor fireplace, playground, parks and community grills. Toll Brothers says the neighborhood is positioned near shopping, dining, outdoor recreation, golf courses and major highways, while the sales center at 5030 Heardmont Trace Road is listed with Tandra H., Angela R. and Emilee W. as the sales team and a contact number of 888-686-5542.

The opening also lands in the middle of a broader county debate about growth and schools. Toll Brothers says the community is located within Forsyth County schools and near top Forsyth County schools, including North Forsyth High School. Forsyth County Schools says the district has 42 schools, made up of 23 elementary schools, 11 middle schools and 8 high schools, and its boundary-planning staff tracks enrollment forecasting and attendance boundaries. That matters because the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners extended a residential application moratorium to June 2, 2026, after the Forsyth County Board of Education asked local governments to take effective measures to reduce or eliminate high-density residential development.

Forsyth County’s population was estimated at 282,805 on July 1, 2025, up 12.5% from the April 1, 2020 census base, while the median value of owner-occupied housing units was $550,400 in 2020-2024, according to Census Bureau QuickFacts. Heardmont Farms itself carries a longer history: a sale brochure says the site was originally developed in 1996 as 16 estate lots ranging from 2 to 5 acres, with homes from 4,000 to 11,000 square feet valued from $600,000 to more than $1 million and views of Sawnee Mountain. That makes Toll Brothers’ entry less a brand-new subdivision than a reworking of an already upscale pocket of Forsyth, one that points to where the county’s housing market is heading next.
