Summerfield is a sprawling North Carolina suburb that rests on the outskirts of Greensboro. There’s a variety of rentals in this expansive residential area. Apartment communities, single-family homes, and townhome can all be found to fit a variety of styles and needs. Most of Summerfield is made up of relatively new housing developments, but near the town center and along U.S. Highway 220, you’ll find requisite chains and big-box stores to enjoy. Residents also enjoy proximity to Lake Higgins, Lake Brandt, and Lake Townsend to help beat the summer heat or just enjoy a day fishing or boating.
The city of Greensboro is just a few minutes’ drive east. The amenities of the city make Summerfield a great location for anyone looking for peace and quiet with relative convenience.
