Exciting New Amenities Add a Whole New Dimension to Cedar Crest

THE ERICKSON TRIBUNE
The long awaited opening of Cedar Crest’s third and final clubhouse, Woodland Commons, is finally taking place this month—and excitement throughout the community is running high.
“People here at Cedar Crest are very intrigued by all they’ve heard about the new clubhouse,” says David Way, who represents his fellow community members on the Resident Advisory Council. “I can’t wait for it to open myself!”
Doors Open Right After Labor Day
The Woodland Commons Clubhouse officially opens its doors on September 5, the day after Labor Day. Although its two new restaurants, the Salon and Day Spa, Lakeland bank branch (Cedar Crest’s second), conference center, and other amenities begin operations the following week, the clubhouse will be ready for touring.
“People will be able to come in and look around,” says Ray Guarino, Cedar Crest’s director of marketing. “We’re looking forward to taking our visitors through this impressive facility, as well as the apartment homes that are just a short walk away.”
Tours are also being planned for current community members. As with Cedar Crest’s two other clubhouses, Woodland Commons and all its amenities can be utilized and enjoyed by everyone living on the 130-acre campus.
Two New Restaurants
According to David, many at Cedar Crest are looking forward to having two new restaurant choices—for a total of five campus-wide. “I think that is probably the most important thing to the community,” he says.
The Overlook restaurant offers full-service seated dining. Its tempting menus change daily and include such chef specialties as roast leg of lamb with mint jelly, teriyaki glazed mahi mahi, and braised chicken with tomatoes, mushrooms, and white wine. Savory soups, salads, and a variety of vegetable side dishes are also offered, along with an enticing selection of desserts.
