Buying at The Crossing at Coal Mountain, GA: What to Know
Toll Brothers is actively selling townhomes and single-family homes at The Crossing at Coal Mountain, a 140-acre mixed-use community in North Forsyth County, with townhomes starting in the upper $400,000s and the community's roughly 47,000-square-foot retail plaza targeted for completion in summer 2026. It can be a strong option if you want new construction, resort-style amenities, and a fast-growing town center, but you're buying ahead of finished retail, ahead of mature landscaping, and directly alongside the builder's remaining inventory, which affects both your day-to-day experience and your resale position. Whether it's worth it for you depends on your timeline, your tolerance for ongoing construction, and how your contract is written.
