Leave stress behind, change how you live at resort-style oasis

Cedar Creek has helped transform how people live since 1989. And although the beautifully built homes and enviable resort-style amenities tend to attract most of the attention when talking about Cedar Creek, the development team’s commitment to the smallest of details is just as impressive.

The homes, the amenities, the lush surroundings—it all adds up to much more than a new home community. Instead, Cedar Creek is an oasis, an escape from the hectic pace and stress of daily life. And you don’t have to jump on a plan to get some much-needed rest and relaxation. Spend time in one of two swimming pools, enjoy a sunset stroll around the 65-acre Shadow Lake or gather friends and family for a round at the award-winning, private 18-hole Shadow Glen Golf Club. Homeowners also have access to a free-form swimming pool, four lighted tennis courts, a second swimming pool in the Southglen neighborhood, jogging and walking trails, the Swim & Racquet Club and an indoor gymnasium that’s equipped for basketball, volleyball, aerobics and a performance stage.

Cedar Creek residents Matt and Rachelle Hirsch are a prime example of how Cedar Creek can truly capture the imaginations of prospective buyers. As they were searching for a new home, they stopped at Cedar Creek to learn more about the community. One drive through Cedar Creek’s lush, impeccably landscaped surroundings, and they fell in love with the community and all that it offers.

“It’s just a beautiful place,” Matt said.

Ken Rosberg is president and supervising broker of Cedar Creek Realty, LLC, and is more commonly known around the community as “Mr. Cedar Creek.” He described Cedar Creek as “one of the most sought-after places to live. Cedar Creek was designed with style, value and tranquility in mind, offering a unique living environment not found elsewhere in Johnson County. The dramatic architectural style artfully blends with the community’s sprawling acres of rolling hills, limestone bluffs, treed valleys, tranquil lakes and undisturbed greenspace. Home buyers will find an abundant and varied selection of gorgeous home settings including walkouts, daylight and flat homesites.”

What prospective buyers may not realize is that in addition to an impressive array of amenities, Cedar Creek is home to more than a dozen architecturally distinct neighborhoods. And that means prospective buyers have more floor plans, more homesites and more price points from which to choose. A sampling of Cedar Creek’s neighborhoods and speculative homes includes:

Not only does the varied selection of neighborhoods give Cedar Creek buyers more options; it also makes the resort-style neighborhood more accessible to a wider variety of homeowners.

“There’s an exclusivity that comes with Cedar Creek, but at the same time, you can live there in the $400,000s,” said Steve Trued of Tabernacle Homes. “It’s not one of those neighborhoods that’s simply out of reach. Our feeling is that a home is important to a family, whether it’s their first home or their dream home. We’re not stuck in just one price range.”

Cedar Creek is served by the Olathe School District, including Olathe West High School, Mission Trail Junior High School, and Cedar Creek Elementary School. The community is also within close proximity to St. James Academy Catholic High School.
