Thank you for your continued support and for helping make our neighborhood a great place to call home!
Looking for Volunteers
One of the things that makes Summerfield special is that our HOA is self-managed by volunteer homeowners rather than a professional management company. This helps keep our dues among the lowest in the area while allowing neighbors to make decisions for our community.
As several long-serving Board members prepare to step down, we’re looking for homeowners who are willing to get involved. No prior HOA experience is needed—we work together, share responsibilities, and are happy to help new volunteers get started.
If you’re interested in learning more about serving on the Board, please reach out to any current Board member. Your involvement helps keep Summerfield a wonderful place to live!
- Architectural Improvements: Please remember that all exterior modifications require Architectural Committee approval before work begins. Submit an Architectural Improvement Request prior to starting your project.
- Weed Maintenance: Please keep weeds under control to help maintain the beauty and safety of our community.
- Trash Containers: Trash and recycling bins should be stored behind a fence or screened from public view except on collection day.
- Wood Rot: We have noticed signs of wood rot on some homes. Regularly inspect exterior wood, repair damaged areas promptly, and keep wood sealed and painted to help prevent further deterioration.
- Gophers: We are monitoring increased gopher activity in the community. Please report significant activity and address gopher mounds early to help prevent damage to landscaping and irrigation.

Doggy Do-Do’s and Don’ts
Summerfield is not only a great neighborhood for families, but also for dogs. We ask all dog owners to please pick up after your dogs. It is common courtesy and required 
by the Summerfield CC&Rs. Article VI, Section 8 of the Summerfield CC&Rs states: “Dog owners are required to immediately remove any deposits their dogs might place upon the Common Areas, private Lots, streets, or elsewhere in the Community…”
TIP: doggie bags are located in 3 areas within the community for residents to use.
According to San Diego County Code section 62.669(a) and California Penal Code Section 597, dogs must be kept on leashes and the person holding the leash must be capable of controlling the dog while in public.
Poway contracts with the Humane Society for animal control, including lost and stray dogs and barking dog complaints. The number is 760-888-2275. See this web page for more information: Animal-Services

Thank you for keeping Summerfield safe and clean not just for us humans but for our canine friends too!
