About Summerside

The community developer of Summerside is Brookfield Residential Properties Inc.

Three out of four residences (76%) are single-family dwellings. The remainder is split roughly equally between apartments in low-rise buildings with fewer than five stories (12%) and row houses (11%). The few remaining dwellings are duplexes (1%).

The community is represented by the Summerside Community League.

An important feature of living in Summerside is the required membership with the Summerside Residents Association. All residents pay an annual fee to support the costs of maintaining the park, Summerside Lake, utilities, property taxes, administration costs, landscaping and grounds maintenance. Residents are also required to follow established Cape Cod-like architectural guidelines. The 32-acre lake is a large man-made resort-styled amenity that features a wide range of sports and recreational activities. This area also features open green spaces, an extensive pathway system, and playgrounds.
