Planned for approximately 2,000 homesites, Altama will bring resort-style amenities, shoppable Wayfair model homes and a new vision for living along Brunswick’s growing Exit 42 corridor
BRUNSWICK, GA / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2026 / D.R. Horton’s Hilton Head-Savannah division will celebrate the grand opening of Altama, a premier master-planned community in Brunswick, with a public event and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, October 29, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Located near I-95’s Exit 42 and just across the interstate from Buc-ee’s, Altama is expected to be one of the largest master-planned communities in the Golden Isles. The community reflects Brunswick’s continued growth and increasing demand for thoughtfully designed neighborhoods offering convenience, connection and an engaging lifestyle.
More than a new neighborhood, Altama is envisioned as a destination where residents can live, gather and enjoy an active coastal lifestyle.
“Altama represents a major investment in the future of Brunswick,” said Sean Ware, Division President of D.R. Horton’s Hilton Head-Savannah Division. “We’re building more than just homes. We’re creating a community where people can put down roots, build connections and enjoy everything that makes the Golden Isles special.”
The community’s arrival experience is designed to make a lasting impression. A signature entrance featuring a prominent tower monument and landscaped entry will serve as a gateway to Altama. Future commercial development is also planned near the entrance, creating opportunities for additional shopping, dining, services and everyday conveniences as the community continues to grow.
A centerpiece of the grand opening celebration will be five professionally staged model homes furnished by Wayfair. Each model will be fully shoppable, allowing visitors to experience the latest home-design trends in person and shop the featured furniture, decor and accessories for their own homes.
Altama is designed to encourage residents to live more of life outdoors, with an extensive collection of planned amenities offering opportunities to stay active, gather with neighbors and enjoy the community throughout the year. Planned features include a zero-entry resort-style pool, an additional community pool, clubhouse, fitness center, pickleball courts, dog park, events lawn, outdoor gathering spaces, fire pit and approximately four miles of walking and multi-use paths.
The community is also situated alongside the nearly 4,000-acre Altama Plantation Wildlife Management Area, with plans for a future connection offering residents another way to experience the surrounding area.
Altama features a mix of single-family homes and paired villas designed to meet the needs of homebuyers at different stages of life. Homes are now available for purchase.
As Brunswick continues to attract new residents, employers and investment, Altama is poised to expand local housing opportunities while creating a distinctive community experience that reflects the character of the Golden Isles.
“At its core, Altama is about creating a place where homeowners feel connected to their neighbors and proud of where they live,” Ware said. “We’re excited to welcome the community and share this vision with Brunswick.”
