Final building to open this month

This month Cedar Crest, in Pompton Plains, unveils final building, Forest Glen and completes its master plan.

“This is it,” says Marketing Director Ray Guarino. “Once we sell all the units in this last building, we have no more new apartments to sell.” He says the sales office averages 30 settlements a month, which means the new buildings are filling up fast.

“The projected wait, from what we’ve seen at other communities like Seabrook, would be about two or three years. It could be more if someone is looking for a specific model home,” Guarino says.

‘… we knew it was right …’
Alfred and Louis Zenker started looking for a place to move about six months ago and joined the Priority List at Cedar Crest. They chose a two bedroom, two bath home in Forest Glen and will move there in mid-August.

“If someone isn’t 62 yet or the apartment they want isn’t available, the Priority List reserves their space,” Guarino says. At press time, the Cedar Crest Priority List held 649 people. Of that total, 199 had reserved a home at Cedar Crest, meaning 450 people could move into open inventory, according to Guarino.

When the Zenkers were ready, they sold their house in Emerson in just one day—for significantly more than the asking price. “When we found Cedar Crest, we knew it was right because we liked the way the people operated. Everybody was pleasant, and we liked the homes,” Alfred Zenker says.

Moving home
The community’s three clubhouses and 12 residence buildings encompass more than 50 acres of the entire 130-acre site.

Each clubhouse supplies everything from restaurants, salon and day spas, and classrooms to an in-house TV studio, fitness center, aquatics center, and even a wood shop. The residence buildings house apartments in a variety of sizes and styles to suit everyone’s needs.
