Century Communities
A national top-ten builder (NYSE: CCS) pushing hard into Austin in 2026 — two new communities opened here in June alone, including one of the few sub-$400K footholds inside Austin city limits. Century sells under two distinct brands with different buying processes; knowing which one you are in matters. Everything below is researched and dated, not field-confirmed.
What we can verify so far
“From the $300s” is the loosest kind of advertised price — it can mean $300,990 or $389,990. Get the current price sheet for the specific collection.
How their model works — and what it means for you
Most sub-$400K new construction in this metro is 25+ miles out. Cloverleaf at 78747 (South Austin, inside the city) advertising from the $300s is an exception worth checking — and worth checking hard: an in-city price that low usually has a story in the tax rate, the lot size, or the location specifics. That story is exactly what a field visit is for.
Century Complete is a different buying process than Century Communities — online-first, deposit-by-checkout, minimal sales office. Cheaper to operate, sometimes cheaper to buy — but the process assumes you will do your own diligence. If you buy that way, our 25-point checklist is the diligence.
Evelyn spans $300s to $500s across three collections and 25 plans. The spread inside this one community is wider than the spread between most builders. Anchor on the collection-specific price sheet, never the community-level “from.”
- No field visit yet — both Austin communities opened within the last six weeks; model-home and construction observations pending.
- No incentive history — Century is not yet in the weekly Incentive Tracker.
- Cloverleaf and Evelyn tax rates (MUD/PID status) and HOA dues not yet pulled from rate sheets.
- The full list of their Austin-area communities beyond the two 2026 openings has not been independently compiled yet.
Until these are field-checked, treat every figure above as a researched starting point — not a substitute for the numbers Century puts in writing for your specific home.
