Cumming

Found in the northern corner of the Atlanta metropolitan area, Cumming is a burgeoning city in Forsyth County. The city was named after William Cumming, who served as a colonel in the War of 1812. Today, it's a hub in the county that's touted for being one of the fastest growing in the nation. With easy access to Atlanta and the natural landscape of the outer edges, it's not surprise Cumming homes for sale are in high demand.
