Summerfield is a busy neighborhood filled with retail amenities and Florida charm, complete with meandering golf carts. “This community is amazing and there’s so much to do around here. If you’re bored, it’s your own fault,” says Brian Kiger who works in the pro shop at Eagle Ridge Golf Club. “The amenities around here are just great. If you want to hike, golf, paint or go rock climbing, whatever you want to do, they’ve got a group for every kind of interest.”

Carney Island Park is close by
The nearby Carney Island Park is a spacious park that hugs Lake Weir, the fifth largest lake in the state, and has boat ramps that give residents the chance to get out on the water and do some fishing. The park is also home to the Ma Barker House which was built in 1935 and now offers private tours. For a time, the house was rented by notorious gangsters Ma Barker and her son, who would later engage in the longest FBI shootout in history when police discovered their hideout. Eagle Ridge Golf Club was founded in 1999 and boasts four different courses with 36 holes between them that welcome both members and visiting golfers. Stonecrest Golf is another semi-private course that was designed by Steve Newgent. The par 72 course is in the middle of a retirement community and offers plenty of water hazards and championship tees. “Golf is sort of a big deal around here,” Kiger says. “I bet there are people who move here for the golf.”
