Cider Mill Ridge builders offer many floor plans, developer offers many amenities

Cider Mill Ridge is part of The National, a nationally recognized community located in Parkville. It’s rolling terrain, breathtaking views, natural habitat, award-winning Park Hill School District and, of course, its Tom Watson Signature Golf course are just a few reasons why The National stands apart from all other developments, the marketing team said.

The developer, FiveStar Lifestyles, and sales team, Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Kansas City Homes, continues to build on the reputation of its builder group. The builder team consists of SAB Homes, winner of multiple awards in the Spring 2015 Parade of 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 counters, 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 new families looking for schools to the empty-nesters looking to enjoy their retirement years with walking trails, golf, a new pool and children’s playground opening Memorial Day weekend. All 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.

Cider Mill Ridge is in the highly sought-after Park Hill School District.

After Graden Elementary, students attend Plaza 6th Grade Center, Lakeview Middle School and Park Hill South High School.
