Choices are abundant at Cider Mill Ridge at The National

The pool for residents of Cider Mill Ridge at The National is opening Memorial Day weekend, but you can see what it will look like Saturday as the Spring Parade of Homes commences. In addition to the new pool, a playground will be constructed in the park at Cider Mill Ridge.

It is with great anticipation two major components of the amenity package are nearing completion. These amenities become part of the global amenity package which includes walking trials, Frisbee golf and two 18-hole championship golf courses, one a Tom Watson Signature Design, at The National Golf Club of Kansas City. All of this plus being in the award-winning Park Hill School District. These are just a few reasons why The National stands apart from all other developments, the marketing team said.

The developer, FiveStars Lifestyles, and sales team, Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Kansas City Homes, continue to build on the reputation of its builder group. The builder team consists of SAB Homes, Ashlar Homes, Pro Builders and The National Home Building Company.

Homebuyers will find a wide variety of floor plans at Cider Mill Ridge that appeal to everyone from young families to empty-nesters. Styles include ranch, reverse ranch, 11/2-story and two-story designs featuring extensive interior features such as granite counter tops, hardwood floors, kitchen islands, walk-in pantries, custom cabinets, architectural arches and extensive wood trim.

Cider Mill Ridge is making all the right changes to attract the new family looking for schools to empty-nesters looking to enjoy their retirement years with walking trails, golf and conveniently located shopping, all of which are an easy walk or golf cart drive away.

“It has been great working with the developer, FiveStar Lifestyles, and the sales team to get Cider Mill Ridge reinvigorated,” said Scott Bamesberger, owner of SAB Homes.
