Cedar Meadows sits in White Post, Virginia, and is a gated, 55+ active adult community, where people find single-story, ranch-style homes with two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and these houses all have low-maintenance vinyl siding, architectural shingle roofs, and crawl space foundations, and the whole place was first built up by Bowman-Shoemaker Companies and got more homes added by Dan Ryan Builders later on, so folks have choices in floor plans like the Carraway, Hogan, Stephenson, and Nickerson, and each home usually has a two-car attached garage with a front entry, automatic opener, and some extra built-in shelves for storage, plus they're all on concrete driveways and sit on manageable lots. Homes in Cedar Meadows offer between about 1,437 and 1,639 square feet-though some models hit right around 1,450 or 1,619 square feet-and people will notice features like open layouts in the living areas, cathedral ceilings, gas or electric fireplaces with mantels, and finished touches from hardwood and laminate plank flooring to crown molding, recessed lighting, and ceiling fans. Kitchens have plenty of cabinetry, a pantry, and built-in appliances-gas stoves, dishwashers, disposals, microwaves, refrigerators, and tankless water heaters-while laundry stays on the main level, so nobody needs to worry about stairs. Every house seems to have nice details, like a brick side porch, a covered front porch, or even a screened-in back patio for relaxing, plus big walk-in closets, a primary bedroom with a full bath, soaking tub or stall shower, and sometimes enough space for an office setup or a nice seating area along with bedroom furniture.
People living in Cedar Meadows can use amenities like a private community clubhouse overlooking a peaceful pond with mature landscaping, and there are paved walking trails and sidewalks that circle around the community, which folks often use to meet neighbors or just get some exercise while enjoying the surroundings. The community clubhouse hosts gatherings or activities, and some people like to take it easy on the screened porches, or just look out over the water. Residents get a good deal of help from the Cedar Meadows Homeowners Association, which takes care of lawn work, keeps the snow clear in the winter, and picks up trash every week, all for a set monthly fee. The neighborhood is designed so that the entry is level and there's extra accessibility-things like wide doorways and handi-capable modifications-so anyone with mobility needs can feel comfortable moving about. People here have an emergency alert system and a 24-hour call system for health care needs, plus services for daily help such as dressing, bathing, and routines, along with respite care for short-term stays or primary caregiver breaks. Cedar Meadows isn't far from Sherando Park, a big public county park where friends and family can go for bocce courts, tennis, fishing, basketball, or hiking, and children who visit go to Frederick County Public Schools. Every house has public sewer and water service and reliable central air conditioning and natural gas heating, keeping the temperature steady all year around. With 129 detached homes in a peaceful, landscaped setting, Cedar Meadows stays quiet, scenic, and suited for older adults who want privacy and convenience, but also a sense of community and access to social spaces, all set back in the rustic, slower-paced area of White Post, Virginia.
