Summerfield: Classic Lakewood Ranch Living Where It All Began

Welcome

Welcome to Summerfield, the original village that established Lakewood Ranch as Southwest Florida's premier master-planned community. As the original neighborhood dating back to the mid-1990s, Summerfield embodies the classic suburban charm that put Lakewood Ranch on the map. Experience the perfect blend of established community character with all the evolving benefits of one of Florida's most desirable places to call home.

Neighborhood Character

Summerfield stands as Lakewood Ranch's founding village, offering the mature charm and established feel that only comes with nearly three decades of community development. This is where it all began, featuring tree-lined streets, friendly cul-de-sacs, and the authentic neighborhood atmosphere that original residents have carefully cultivated over the years. The mature landscaping, towering oaks, and personalized homes create an environment that feels genuinely established rather than cookie-cutter, with many original owners still calling Summerfield home and contributing to the community's strong sense of pride and continuity.

Housing Options

Summerfield offers diverse housing options across several distinct neighborhoods including Summerfield Glades, Bluffs, Pines, Park, and the intimate Summerfield Hollow townhome community. Single-family homes range from cozy two-bedroom starter homes around 1,200 square feet to expansive four-bedroom family residences exceeding 2,500 square feet. Many homes feature traditional layouts with formal living rooms, though numerous owners have personalized their spaces through renovations over the years. The Summerfield Hollow townhomes provide a more compact option with two to three-bedroom units spanning 1,000 to 1,300 square feet, offering some of the most affordable living options in all of Lakewood Ranch.

Pricing and Fees

Summerfield presents exceptional value within Lakewood Ranch, with pricing that reflects both the established nature of the community and individual property updates. Single-family home resales typically range from the mid-$400,000s for smaller or more original-condition properties to over $600,000 for larger updated homes with pools, with a community median around $500,000. The Summerfield Hollow townhomes offer outstanding affordability, selling in the mid-$300,000s. Homeowners benefit from the lowest HOA fees in all of Lakewood Ranch at just over $100 annually, as Summerfield doesn't maintain gated entries or private clubhouse facilities. The Community Development District (CDD) fee covers parks and common area maintenance and is included in your annual tax bill.

Amenities & Lifestyle

While Summerfield doesn't feature private pools or clubhouses, residents enjoy something even better—Summerfield Park, one of Lakewood Ranch's major community parks located right in the heart of the neighborhood. This expansive recreational hub offers tennis courts, basketball courts, beach volleyball, soccer and baseball fields, picnic pavilions, multiple playgrounds, a fishing pond, and extensive walking paths. The park serves as a true community gathering place where you'll find kids' sports leagues on weekends and families celebrating birthdays under the pavilions, fostering the kind of neighborhood connections that make Summerfield special.

Summerfield's position as the southwestern anchor of Lakewood Ranch provides unmatched accessibility and convenience. Located east of I-75 between University Parkway and State Road 70 along Lakewood Ranch Boulevard, residents enjoy:

• Minutes to University Town Center Mall with premier shopping and dining

• 25-minute straight shot to downtown Sarasota

Unique Value Proposition

What truly sets Summerfield apart is its authentic established community character combined with Lakewood Ranch's modern amenities and lifestyle. As the original village, Summerfield offers mature landscaping, larger yards, and the kind of neighborhood personality that can only develop over decades. The absence of construction noise, the presence of towering oak trees, and homes that have been lovingly personalized by their owners create an atmosphere that newer communities simply cannot replicate. With Summerfield Park at its heart fostering genuine community connections, this neighborhood represents the perfect balance of suburban tranquility and convenient access to everything Southwest Florida has to offer.
