Century Communities Opens Creekbend in Winston‑Salem, Raises Quarterly Dividend 10%

Creekbend launch expands Century's North Carolina footprint

Century Communities is expanding in North Carolina with the opening of Creekbend, a new single‑family home community on Waterworks Road about five miles from downtown Winston‑Salem. The builder is releasing a limited number of two‑story homes priced from the $280s, aiming to serve buyers seeking affordable new construction near employment and cultural hubs in Greensboro and High Point. Creekbend sits close to recreational amenities including the William G. White Jr. Family YMCA, Winston Lake and the 375‑acre Salem Lake, which the company highlights to buyers looking for lifestyle and commute balance.

Floor plans at Creekbend focus on open‑concept living for families and first‑time buyers, with homes offering up to 2,014 square feet, four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two‑bay garages. Standard finishes include LG stainless‑steel appliances, quartz countertops, Kohler fixtures and luxury vinyl plank flooring, reflecting Century’s emphasis on quality amenities at entry‑level price points. The community is a limited release, and company officials say constrained homesite availability makes early visits advisable for shoppers seeking value in the local market.

Century underscores its online sales platform at Creekbend, continuing a national strategy that lets buyers research, preview design selections and complete much of the purchase process remotely. On‑site sales staff remain available for tours, financing guidance and move‑in timelines, but the developer positions its digital tools and Century Complete design options as a way to speed transactions and improve transparency for customers. Prospective buyers can schedule tours or check availability through the builder’s Creekbend web page or by contacting the sales studio.

Dividend increase and capital strategy

Separately, Century’s board declares a quarterly cash dividend of $0.32 per share, a 10% increase from the prior level, as part of a capital allocation strategy that balances shareholder returns with reinvestment in land, community development and digital sales innovation. The company frames the dividend move as reflecting confidence in cash flow while supporting growth across its 16‑state, 45‑plus market footprint.

Corporate profile and services

Century Communities operates under the Century Communities and Century Complete brands and provides ancillary services in select markets through subsidiaries offering mortgage, title, insurance and escrow. The builder cites recognition by Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report for trustworthiness and workplace quality as it markets new communities such as Creekbend to value‑oriented buyers.
