About Summerfield

Summerfield grew from Bruce's Crossroads, a community founded in 1769, and was later renamed after a well-known traveling minister. The town was incorporated in May 1996. The old Brittain store building at the crossroads of NC 150 and old US 220 now serves as Town Hall and a small museum.

Summerfield is in northern Guilford County. It has no public sewer, so homes rely on private septic systems and wells, and much of the town sits in the watershed above Lake Brandt and Lake Higgins. Lots tend to be large, wooded or pasture, with horse farms along the back roads.

What Summerfield property owners should know

For septic owners, the property type matters. Summerfield homes are mostly on big lots: older farmhouses, horse properties, and newer custom homes in subdivisions off US 220 and NC 150. Clay subsoil drains slowly, so drain fields here can struggle after long wet spells, especially on lots near the streams that drain toward Lake Brandt and Lake Higgins, which fall under watershed rules. Keep cars off the field, pump on a schedule, and watch for soggy spots or odors downhill of the tank.

Summerfield has its own development rules, and Guilford County handles building inspections and septic permits for the town. A local provider can tell you whether your job needs a permit.
