Summerfield at Snow Hill

Summerfield is a new neighborhood proposed for a 934-acre site on Maryland′s Eastern Shore in the town of Snow Hill about 25 minutes southwest of Ocean City.

Summerfield is comprised of three neighborhoods with numerous connections to the existing town and each other through a network of pedestrian trails and vehicular streets. Each neighborhood will have a limited retail component with the highest concentration of mixed-use in Summerfield centered on Lake Odachowski. Summerfield′s retail and office uses are intended to meet some of the daily needs of its residents within walking distance. Additionally, some retail needs that the town wants, such as a grocery store and a movie theater that don′t fit downtown could be accommodated in Summerfield. While Summerfield′s residents may be able to meet some of their daily needs within walking distance, other needs and certainly "wants" would be met in downtown Snow Hill where the retail and office uses serve the entire region.

The site is particularly challenging from an environmental standpoint as it is adjacent to the Pocomoke River and has numerous wetlands scattered across the site. Other natural features include a number of tree stand areas and ponds. The plan calls for a large lake to be added and a number of ponds to be enlarged to provide limited recreational opportunities for both residents of the town and Summerfield, as well as provide state-of-the-art storm water management.
