Century Complete has started selling new single-family homes at Hudson Village, a community in Cowpens, South Carolina, with prices starting at $231,888. The builder is offering five floor plans ranging from 1,155 to 1,965 square feet, with three to four bedrooms, two to 2.5 bathrooms and one- to two-car garages across its single- and two-story designs.
The announcement, detailed in a Financial Times company announcement, lays out a community built around affordability and standardized features. Every home at Hudson Village comes with quartz countertops, LG stainless-steel appliances, Kohler water fixtures, an Igloo smart front-door lock and 36-inch Shaker cabinets, according to a release distributed via PR Newswire. Hudson Village sits roughly 12 miles from Spartanburg, just minutes off I-85, putting commuters within reach of both Greenville and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Online Buying Tools Built Into the Sales Process
Century Complete is leaning on its now-familiar online homebuying system for Hudson Village sales, letting buyers shop available homes and work through a purchase while still coordinating with their own real estate agent, per the same release. The company's Buy Now process lets a buyer lock in a home by filling out an online form, submitting an initial earnest money deposit electronically and signing a purchase contract via DocuSign. Century Complete also offers online financing through its affiliate lender, Inspire Home Loans.
Move-in-ready homes at the community are open daily for self-guided tours, according to Century Communities' own community page. That page also describes the online Buy Now option as a convenient way to secure a home without stepping foot in a sales office first.
Why Builders Keep Betting on the Upstate
Hudson Village is the latest entry in a broader expansion push by Century Complete across Spartanburg County and the surrounding Upstate region. The company recently said it would soon begin selling townhomes at Ellison Townhomes in Spartanburg, a community planned with walking trails, a playground, a dog park and access to the Daniel Morgan Trail System, per a report from Yahoo Finance. Standard features there mirror much of what's showing up at Hudson Village, including quartz countertops, Kohler fixtures and LG appliances, plus luxury vinyl-plank flooring.
Century Complete also has other Spartanburg-area projects in the pipeline. The company was slated to open Frey Creek in late October with homes starting in the $270s, and Riverdale Hills in November from the mid-$200s, according to Greenville Business Magazine. A new phase at Moss Creek in Spartanburg was also planned to open by year's end, with homes available from the low $200s, the outlet reported. Separately, the builder said it would soon offer new homes at Concord Place in Pickens, South Carolina, according to a Yahoo Finance report.
Population Growth Meets a Slower-Moving Market
The push into Cowpens comes as the Upstate continues to draw new residents at a rapid clip. The Spartanburg metropolitan area ranked as the third-fastest-growing metro in the country based on 2024-2025 Census Bureau estimates, and across the Upstate, roughly 13,000 permits have been issued annually for new homes over the past five years, according to the Post and Courier. That growth, the paper notes, attracts economic development and jobs but also strains land, utilities and housing affordability.
Yet the latest county-level data suggests the market may be cooling somewhat even as demand holds. The median sale price of a home in Spartanburg County was $284,000 over the three months ending in August, down 2.1% from the same period the previous year, according to Redfin's housing market data for the county. Homes also took longer to sell, averaging 78 days on the market compared with 63 days a year earlier, and the county recorded 570 home sales in August versus 600 the year before. Redfin's page separately listed the median sale price per square foot at $154, though the site showed conflicting year-over-year figures — one version citing a 1.9% decline and a search-result snippet citing a 1.3% increase.
Against that backdrop, Century Complete is framing Hudson Village as a lower-cost entry point for buyers priced out of pricier Upstate listings. New-construction homes in the broader Cowpens area span a wide range, from $171,999 to $935,000 and from 813 to 4,892 square feet, across 180 communities and 27 builders, according to NewHomeSource. Hudson Village's $231,888 starting price lands well toward the affordable end of that spectrum.
