Comfort and quick access to transportation in Summerfield

Comfort and ease are two words often affiliated with Summerfield, Maryland, a neighborhood 9 miles outside of Washington D.C. Located just east of the city and in the shadows of the Washington Commander’s FedEx Field, Summerfield has plenty of action in a small area. “Convenience is key,” says Fairfax Realty Elite agent Andrea Jenkins. “Folks commute into the big cities for work and entertainment and are drawn to the quick access to the beltway and the metro.” With a variety of home styles, the satisfaction of one-stop shopping and an array of outdoor activities anyone can find what they are looking for in Summerfield. With NFL games and large concerts, locals are sure to deal with noise and traffic on event days.

Bus stops are conveniently located throughout the neighborhood.

Driveways, garages and well-manicured yards

Home styles in the neighborhood vary from tri-levels to townhomes to ornate gothics. But as Jenkins says, “It doesn’t really matter the style, inventory is short and homes in this area go quickly.” Prices range from the mid $300,000 to $400,000 for older ranch-style homes to the $600,000 territory for newer townhomes and multi-level single-family units. You won’t need to search for a parking spot as most of the brick or vinyl-sided homes in Summerfield have driveways or multi-car garages. The well-manicured lawns and tall trees lend a notion of nature to the area and many of the streets end in cul-de-sacs providing a quiet escape from the traffic associated with the Capital Beltway. The large yards are great for a barbecue and the flat sidewalks provide a nice route to stroll with a pet.

Most of the newer homes in Summerfield are Colonial with Gothic influenced center gables.
