Travelers Rest, SC (June 4, 2007) – The Blue Ridge Mountains have reached Manhattan. Today, the collection of exclusive, luxury gated communities of the Western Carolinas known as The Cliffs – offering what has been described as “the most impressive, comprehensive private club membership in the world” – announced its entrée into the New York market with the opening of its new real estate office.

Luxury Homes in America

“With over $150 million in completed, first-class amenities across our seven communities, and an additional $150 million estimated for future facilities, programs, and services for our membership, we feel confident that the wellness-infused lifestyle that our communities offer is second-to-none and perfectly suited for second-home living among New York’s most discerning families,” stated Scott Beville, President of Sales and Marketing for The Cliffs Communities.

“Within a year’s time, the demand we’ve seen from the New York market has been, in a word, tremendous,” Beville continued. “Establishing a real estate office in the heart of Manhattan – with views of Central Park – serves both to remind us of the 2,500 acres of private parks and trails gracing our communities and to reinforce the elevation of the experience buyers can look forward to when they join The Cliffs Family.”
