Basis of Presentation [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation	'
	1. Basis of Presentation
	Century Communities, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“we” or the “Company”) is engaged in all aspects of homebuilding, including land acquisition and development, entitlements, and the acquisition, development, construction, marketing, and sale of various single-family detached and attached residential home projects primarily in major metropolitan markets in Colorado, Austin, Texas, and as of April 1, 2014 with our acquisition of Las Vegas Land Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“LVLH”) Las Vegas, Nevada.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The pronouncement was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard and disclosure requirements for GAAP. The pronouncement is effective for reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently unable to determine the impact of adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

	2. Initial Public Offering and Issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes
	In May 2014, we completed a private offering of $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2022 in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), where we received net proceeds of approximately $193.3 million. The notes carry a coupon of 6.875% per annum and were issued at a price equal to 99.239% of their principal amount. Concurrent with the issuance of the senior unsecured notes, we repaid the then outstanding balance including accrued interest of $99.2 million on our revolving loan agreement.
	In June 2014, we completed our initial public offering of 4.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, at a per share price of $23.00, where we received net proceeds to the Company of approximately $82.1 million.

Acquisition of Las Vegas Land Holdings, LLC	'
	10. Acquisition of Las Vegas Land Holdings, LLC
	On April 1, 2014, one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Century Communities of Nevada, LLC, purchased substantially all of the assets of LVLH, a homebuilder with operations in Las Vegas, Nevada, for a purchase price of approximately $165 million. The acquired assets consisted of 1,761 lots within five single-family communities in the greater Las Vegas, Nevada metropolitan area. The 1,761 lots included 57 homes in backlog, 17 model homes and three custom lots. In addition, we acquired two fully operational golf courses, three custom home lots, and two one-acre commercial plots.  As the acquired assets and processes have the ability to create outputs in the form of revenue from the sale of single family residences, we concluded that the acquisition represents a business combination. We incurred $0.8 million in acquisition-related costs, which are included in other income (expense) on the consolidated statement of operations.
	The following table summarizes the preliminary amounts recognized as of the acquisition date:
	Assets acquired and liabilities assumed
	Accounts receivable	$	347
	Inventories		141,711
	Prepaid expenses and other assets		3,518
	Property and equipment		8,619
	Amortizable intangible assets		3,076
	Goodwill		13,495
	Total assets	$	170,766
	Accounts payable	$	2,074
	Accrued expenses and other liabilities		1,816
	Notes payable and capital lease obligations		1,497
	Total liabilities	$	5,387
	We determined the preliminary estimate of fair value for acquired inventories with the assistance of an appraiser primarily using a forecasted cash flow approach for the development, marketing, and sale of each community acquired. Significant assumptions included in our estimate include future per lot development costs, construction and overhead costs, mix of products sold in each community as well as average sales price, and absorption rates.
	We determined the preliminary estimate of fair value for amortizable intangible assets, which includes a non-solicitation agreement, cell phone tower leases, and home plans, with the assistance of a third party valuation firm based primarily on a replacement cost approach.  Our preliminary estimate of the fair value of the non-solicitation agreement, cell phone tower leases, and homes plans were $1.4 million, $1.4 million and $0.3 million respectively, which will be amortized over 2 years, 17 years, and 7 years, respectfully.  In total, amortizable intangible assets will be amortized over a weighted average life of 9.3 years.
	We determined that LVLH’s carrying costs approximated fair value for all other acquired assets and assumed liabilities.
	Goodwill includes the anticipated economic value of the acquired workforce. Approximately $10.0 million of goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
	As we have not completed our estimate of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the final determinations of the values may result in adjustments to the amounts presented above and a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

	11. Income Taxes
	On April 30, 2013, the Company reorganized from a Colorado limited liability company into a Delaware corporation, and accordingly, we are subject to federal and state income taxes subsequent to April 30, 2013.  On the date of conversion, we recorded a net deferred tax liability of $0.6 million on our consolidated balance sheet, the effect of which was recorded as a deferred tax on conversion to a corporation in our consolidated statement of operations.
	At the end of each interim period, we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes for the current year-to-date reporting period. Accordingly, we recorded income tax expense of $2.7 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, based on our estimated annual effective tax rate of approximately 34%.

	12. Fair Value Disclosures
	ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:
	Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date.
	Level 3—Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date.

	The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of 100.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share and 50.0 million shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 21.1 million and 17.1 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, exclusive of the restricted common stock issued, respectively. The Company also has reserved a total of 1.8 million shares of common stock for issuance under our First Amended & Restated 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, including outstanding awards. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the Company issued 0.2 million of restricted common stock awards with a grant date fair value of $21.40 per share.
	As of June 30, 2014, 0.3 million shares of restricted common stock were unvested, and $6.3 million of unrecognized compensation costs is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.
	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million, $0.7 million, $0.2 million and $0.2 million respectively, which is included in selling, general, and administrative on the consolidated statement of operations.

Earnings Per Share	'
	14. Earnings Per Share
	We use the two-class method of calculating earnings per share (“EPS”) as our non-vested restricted stock awards have non-forfeitable rights to dividends, and accordingly represent a participating security. The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which EPS is calculated for each class of common stock and participating security considering both dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period.
	For purposes of determining weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the 5.0 million shares that were issued to our outstanding membership interests upon conversion of the Company from a Colorado limited liability company to a Delaware corporation, are reflected as outstanding at the beginning of the period presented.
	The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands except share and per share information):

	In the normal course of business, the Company posts letters of credit and performance bonds related to our land development performance obligations with local municipalities. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had $23.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, in letters of credit and performance bonds issued and outstanding.
	Litigation
	The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits that arise primarily in the ordinary course of business, which consist primarily of construction defect claims. It is the opinion of management that if the claims have merit, parties other than the Company would be, at least in part, liable for the claims, and eventual outcome of these claims will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. When we believe that a loss is probable and estimable, we record a charge to selling, general, and administrative on our consolidated statement of operations for our estimated loss.

(“Jimmy Jacobs”) as of January 1, 2013.  Unaudited pro forma income before tax expense adjusts the operating results of LVLH and Jimmy Jacobs to reflect the additional costs that would have been recorded assuming the fair value adjustments had been applied as of the beginning of the period presented.
	Pro forma basic and diluted net income per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 gives effect to the conversion of the Company’s members’ equity into common stock though the conversion had occurred as of the beginning of 2013. In addition, the pro forma amounts give effect to reflect income tax adjustments as if the Company were a taxable entity as of the beginning of 2013. The pro forma income tax adjustment reflects that the Company would have filed a consolidated tax return as a corporation reflecting a consolidated net income for the periods presented (in thousands, except share and per share information):

	Our initial accounting for this business combination is incomplete as the valuation of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities is still in process.  Accordingly, certain disclosures required by ASC 805-10-50 cannot be made at this time.

	Basis of Presentation
	Century Communities, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“we” or the “Company”) is engaged in all aspects of homebuilding, including land acquisition and development, entitlements, and the acquisition, development, construction, marketing, and sale of various single-family detached and attached residential home projects primarily in major metropolitan markets in Colorado, Austin, Texas, and as of April 1, 2014 with our acquisition of Las Vegas Land Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries (“LVLH”) Las Vegas, Nevada.
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year. The financial statements and related notes do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling interest.  All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The pronouncement was issued to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard and disclosure requirements for GAAP. The pronouncement is effective for reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently unable to determine the impact of adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
