What kind of neighborhood is Summit Lakes?
Summit Lakes is an Arbor Homes community in Westfield, with construction that began in the mid-2000s, off Whitney Road near 171st Street. It's now fully settled in, and the name tells you a lot: lakes and ponds, a nature area, and a central park and playground anchor the neighborhood.
Tree-lined streets wind around the water features, and the community has kept its green, peaceful feel even as the homes around it have matured. An active homeowners association keeps the lakes, common areas, and neighborhood character in good shape.
In short: Summit Lakes is a settled, lake-side neighborhood with a central park and nature right out the door, at a price point that sits comfortably inside Westfield's market.
