These two figures are 42% apart. These two figures count different things and have not been reconciled. The roll counts parcels inside the boundary matched to this name; the community figure may cover plats the roll matched separately, or an association roster. Neither is presented here as the size of the community.

77%
Of the 971 matched residential units here claim a homestead exemption, which reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence.
Still delivering. 45% of the parcels here were completed in the last three years, the most recent in 2025.
Arm’s-length sales recorded with Manatee County, read October 2026. Quitclaims, foreclosures, family transfers and pre-construction sales are excluded. Homestead requires the property to be a permanent residence, so the share carrying one is reported here as a share of matched residential units rather than as a count of who lives here. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
At an estimated $3,472 a year in combined HOA and CDD, Summerwoods sits about 24% above the Parrish median of $2,808, ranking 31 of the 42 Parrish communities whose fees this site tracks.

Governing Documents
2 documents from the community development or stewardship district that covers Summerwoods and linked to the page each one lives on. Nothing is copied here, so you read whatever they publish today. No association documents have been located for Summerwoods yet, which is a gap in what has been found rather than evidence there are none.
A community development or stewardship district is a unit of local government, not an association. Its assessment is billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and its rules are public records of a different kind. Shown separately for that reason.
Summer Woods Community Development District
Matched to Summerwoods because: The district’s own website and its FY2026/2027 adopted budget both name Summer Woods, and the site states it was created by Manatee County Ordinance 11-13 and sits entirely within Manatee County. This site spells the community as one word, Summerwoods, and the district as two; they are the same place.
Created by Manatee County Ordinance 11-13, effective 12 September 2011, covering approximately 268.14 acres. Its assessment schedule divides the community into assessment areas by bond series, 2018A-1, 2020 and two 2021 series, so two neighbours on the same street can carry different debt service depending on which area and which phase they are in. COUNT DISAGREEMENT, recorded and not resolved: the district assesses a Total Community of 988 units where this site records 562 homes. A district counts platted lots including ones not yet built on, and a roll counts what exists, which would explain it; nothing here establishes that.
Who to contact
No individual supervisors or managers are listed here. The board is named in the district’s own agendas and minutes, which its website publishes.
Board members and officers are not listed here. They change often, and their names are on the association’s own records and in the state’s corporate filings, which is where they should be read from rather than from a page that cannot keep up.

The document to open before quoting anything here. The community is split into assessment areas by bond series, so the lot size alone does not determine what a home pays.
The governing body is known and nothing it publishes is public. That is a gap in what has been published, not evidence that the community has no restrictions. This list records what has been found in public, not everything that governs the property. Before an offer I pull the full document set for the specific address along with the association’s budget and financials.

Summerwoods is essentially sold out of new construction, so homes here come up as resale. I can set you up with alerts the moment one hits the market and give you an honest read on value before you offer.
Summerwoods is built by Ryan Homes · M/I Homes · Meritage · Kolter · Starlight. Two things matter if you are buying new here. Register your agent on the FIRST visit: most builders pay the buyer-agent fee, but only if representation is declared before you tour, and afterwards it is usually too late. And a builder's contract is their contract, not the standard Florida form, so the deposit terms, the completion date and what happens if the build runs late are worth reading closely.
The published price guidance for Summerwoods is an estimate from the mid $300s, not a live listing feed or a valuation. Pricing varies by the specific home, condition and lot. Ask me for current listings and recent comparable sales before setting an investment range or an asking price.
Summerwoods offers single family, with floor plans of 3 to 4 bedrooms. As single-family housing, the roof, the exterior and the insurance on the structure are yours rather than an association's, which is the main practical difference from a villa or condominium. What a specific home includes, and what the association maintains, is set out in that community's documents and is worth reading before an offer rather than after.
Summerwoods offers Resort-style pool, Fitness center, Clubhouse, Splash pad, Playground, among others. Worth separating two things that often get blurred together: amenities the HOA maintains and which every owner pays for, and club or golf facilities that may require a separate membership on top. Which category each amenity falls into determines your actual annual cost, and it is set out in the community documents rather than in any listing.
357 arm's-length sales have been recorded in Summerwoods since October 2023, at a median of $388,000. The middle eighty percent of those sales fell between $340,000 and $456,000, which is a better guide to the range than the extremes. These are prices recorded with Manatee County, not asking prices, so they describe what buyers and sellers actually agreed. Figures read October 2026; quitclaims, foreclosures and family transfers are excluded.
77% of the 971 matched residential units in Summerwoods claim a homestead exemption, which Florida grants only on an owner's permanent residence, read from the Manatee County roll in October 2026. That reads as most homes here are claimed as a permanent residence. Homestead is a tax filing, not an occupancy count. A rented home can house full-time residents and will never carry the exemption, and an owner who lives here but never filed does not appear in it either. Read it as what share of matched residential units claim the exemption, not as who lives here.
The most recent home the county records in Summerwoods was completed in 2025, across 1,076 platted parcels of which 971 carry a finished home. 45% of its parcels were completed in the last three years, so Summerwoods is still being delivered: expect construction nearby, and the lot choice that comes with it. Build year matters more in Florida than buyers expect, because insurers weight roof age heavily and it drives what a property costs to carry rather than just what it costs to buy.
Yes. Summerwoods carries an estimated CDD assessment of $2,369 - $2,868, on top of an HOA fee estimated at $111 - $1,596 yearly. A community development district assessment can have two components, and they behave differently: debt service repays the bonds that funded the roads, drainage and amenities, and ends when those bonds are retired, while an operations and maintenance charge pays to run what the bonds built and does not. Both are billed with your property taxes rather than by the association, and both are separate from the HOA. Assessments are set annually and vary by home and phase, so confirm the current components for the specific address.
The flood zone recorded for Summerwoods is X. Zones beginning A or V are the higher-risk categories, where a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood insurance, while zone X is lower risk and coverage is usually optional. Flood zone is assigned per property rather than per community though, and elevation can change both the requirement and the premium substantially, so get the zone and the elevation certificate for the exact address rather than relying on a community-level figure.
