If you’re shopping new construction in Coastal Georgia, the landscape moves fast — new builders entering the market, communities selling out, incentives changing month to month. This is the home base for tracking what’s actually being built across the four counties I cover. (see U.S. Census QuickFacts for the Savannah metro)
I’m Dave Rotundo, REALTOR® with RE/MAX 1st Choice Realty. I work with new construction buyers across Effingham, Bryan, Bulloch, and west Chatham every month (Savannah Morning News market coverage). The pages below give you a current read on which builders are active in each county, what they’re offering, what’s worth seeing in person, and how to think about new construction versus resale in that specific micro-market.
Pick Your County for New Construction
In particular, each county has its own market dynamics, school zones, commute patterns, and builder mix. Start with the county you’re shopping:
- West Chatham — Pooler, Port Wentworth, Savannah & Bloomingdale. Major job-base proximity (Gulfstream, Hunter Army Airfield, the Port).
- Effingham County — Rincon, Guyton & Springfield. Small-town feel with quick I-95 / I-16 access to Pooler and Savannah.
- Bryan County — Richmond Hill & Pembroke. Top-rated schools and Ft. Stewart commute access.
- Bulloch County — Statesboro, Brooklet & Portal. Georgia Southern University and the new Hyundai Metaplant 30 minutes away.
Browse By Builder
Additionally, some buyers shop by builder first. Builder cross-cut pages list every active community for that builder across all four counties:
- DR Horton — Active in Chatham, Effingham, Bulloch, and now Bryan (Coming Soon). Express Series and Tradition Series product lines.
More builder pages will be added as additional builders are reviewed. Next up: Landmark 24 Homes.
How To Use These Pages
Every community page captures the data points that actually matter when you’re choosing a new build: pricing range, square footage, lot sizes, floor plans, school zones, HOA fees, completion timelines, current incentives, and model home hours. Where data is volatile (pricing, incentives, model hours), it’s flagged as “verify before scheduling a tour” — builder offers change frequently and we’ll confirm the current state before you visit.
Buying new construction is fundamentally different from buying a resale. The builder’s sales rep is friendly, professional, and not on your side. I am. If you’re looking at any of the communities linked from these pages, reach out before you sign anything — contract review, lot premium analysis, and walkthrough advocacy cost you nothing and save you real money.
