Summerfield is where Lakewood Ranch began. Opened in 1995 along Lakewood Ranch Boulevard, it offers mature trees, low association dues and some of the shortest drives in the Ranch to I-75 and Lakewood Main Street. We're Eric and Traci Bolen of Sand + Sea Homes with eXp Realty, and we'd love to help you buy or sell here.

About Summerfield
Lakewood Ranch village. Summerfield is its own village, the first in Lakewood Ranch, on the Manatee County side along Lakewood Ranch Boulevard.
Builder and years. Various builders. Opened in 1995 and fully built, so all sales are resales, mostly of homes 20 to 30 years old.
Home types. Mostly single-family homes in about a dozen named neighborhoods. Sarasota Magazine's 2009 survey counted about 1,351 single-family homes on 815 acres.
Gated? No.
Amenities. No resort clubhouse. The 15-acre Summerfield Community Park (three playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts, baseball and soccer fields) and the 110-acre Heron's Nest Nature Park (trails, fishing and boating on Heron Lake and Summerfield Lake) are next door.
HOA and CDD. Lakewood Ranch CDD 1 on the property tax bill plus a modest village association fee. Some neighborhoods have their own associations.
55+? No. All ages.

Summerfield is on the Manatee County side of Lakewood Ranch, so property taxes and public schools are Manatee County's. We check these details with you line by line:
Tax bill and CDD. Community Development District or stewardship district assessments are usually collected on the property tax bill, not by the HOA. Ask for the latest bill and whether any bond (debt) portion remains. Florida taxes also reset after a sale.
Association documents. Review the HOA budget, reserves, what the dues cover, and the leasing, pet and architectural rules before your inspection period ends. Some neighborhoods and condos have an extra association.
Insurance and flood zone. Get insurance quotes, and flood quotes where needed, before you're under contract. Flood zones are assigned home by home. Our post on whether Florida home insurance rates are coming down explains the current picture.
Flood history. Some Summerfield streets flooded during Hurricane Debby in August 2024. Ask for an elevation certificate and ask the seller directly about any water intrusion.
Summerfield straddles a school attendance boundary, so the zoned schools depend on the street. From the School District of Manatee County's 2026-27 attendance-zone locator (checked Oct 20, 2026 using addresses inside the neighborhood):
McNeal Elementary School, Nolan Middle School and Lakewood Ranch High School
Braden River Elementary School, Braden River Middle School and Lakewood Ranch High School
Manatee County's new elementary and middle school zones took effect in 2026-27; new high school zones take effect in 2027-28, so the high school shown here may change. Manatee County families can also apply through the district's Controlled Open Enrollment (School Choice) window for programs such as IB at Johnson K-8 and Southeast High and AICE at Palmetto High. Manatee School for the Arts in Palmetto is a public charter school for grades 6-12 with its own application. School boundaries change, so always confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the School District of Manatee County before you buy.
