Summerfield at Lakewood Ranch
The very first Lakewood Ranch village, completed in 1995.
Summerfield was the very first village built in Lakewood Ranch, completed in 1995. It's a mature, tree-lined, non-gated neighborhood that offers some of the best value in the entire master plan, with villas through single-family homes, all resale. The original LWR community character lives here.

HOA and CDD fees in Summerfield
On top of your mortgage and property taxes, here is what Summerfield asks of you every month, and who takes care of the outside of your home.
- CDD, Summerfield carries one. It is an infrastructure assessment collected on your annual property tax bill rather than on the HOA invoice, which is why it catches people by surprise. Summerfield is one of the original neighbourhoods, so it has a real numbered district rather than the Stewardship District. It sits in Lakewood Ranch Community Development District 1.
- Lawn and exterior upkeep, this one depends on which neighbourhood you land in. Some inside Summerfield are maintenance free and some are not, so it is worth pinning down for the specific address. Summerfield is owner mows apart from The Forest.
Fees shift by home type and they change year to year, so I would rather give you real numbers than a guess. Once you find a place in Summerfield you love, I will pull the current estoppel and we will look at the exact figures for that home together.
