Subject: The Community of Cedar Creek

To Whom it May Concern:

As Mayor of the All America City of Aiken, South Carolina, I would like to take a moment to introduce you to the beautiful master-planned, amenities community of Cedar Creek. Surrounded by horse farms and designated a bird and wildlife sanctuary, Cedar Creek is located only minutes from shopping, fine dining, quality medical care, rich cultural activities and the university.

For over a decade, Cedar Creek and Aiken have been nationally recognized with numerous awards. Golf Magazine named Cedar Creek as “one of the top 20 communities to semi-retire in America,” offering swimming, tennis, golf and many social activities. Furthermore, the 18-hole Arthur Hills designed golf course is considered “the course to play” while in town for the Masters Golf Tournament.

Cedar Creek property owners are unique in themselves having relocated from over 32 different states and several countries. Cedar Creek is reminiscent of the old time “neighborhood” where easy-going people take time to “wave” and get to know each other. It’s a place where neighbors meet on their patios and porches for an afternoon “chat” and barbecue.

While centrally located, Cedar Creek’s proximity to the college town of Aiken is ideal. The City of Aiken provides fine restaurants, award-winning recreation, and many special interest groups and clubs. It has been well noted, the most important asset, both at Cedar Creek and in Aiken, is the people! Their friendliness can’t be beat – come see for yourself. But don’t wait too long. There are approximately 985 homes planned and over 350 have been built, with nearly 50 percent of the homesites already selected in Cedar Creek.

In closing, I would like to list several additional honors received by the City of Aiken and Cedar Creek:
