Once known for its rural setting featuring horse farms and proximity to Lake Lanier, Cumming has more recently become one of the most sought-after suburbs of Atlanta.  Located about 45 minutes northeast of the Perimeter and an easy drive down GA-400, Cumming offers a lifestyle that would be hard to replicate closer to Atlanta.  In the last couple of decades, developers and city planners have worked together to create a well-designed city with a focus on delivering the comfortable, luxury experience people want to be part of.  Cumming offers a unique mixture of affluent and understated living.  Several of the neighborhoods offer executive-style homes in a community setting complete with clubhouse, swimming pools, and tennis courts.  Other areas proudly display large estate-style homes on multiple acres with lots of privacy.  Still, other areas afford a more modest experience.

Cumming is still growing and, as such, new developments are being constructed every year, bringing new amenities and more residents to the community.  New residents are drawn to the area for a variety of reasons, including the nearness to Lake Lanier, several city parks, shopping, dining, and a community-centric approach to life.  Cumming is a welcome change to the fast-paced way of life most Atlantans have become accustomed to.
