While driving north of Scofield Farms, you may have noticed a sign for a new development at the northeast corner of Metric Boulevard and Howard Lane. According to the signage, this is the future site of the Scofield Farms Meadows gated community to be built by Idea Homes. This community will include 49 homes ranging in size from 1828 to 2400 square feet and priced at $240,000 and up. We will share more information as it becomes available – for the moment, you can look here to view the official website.

Don’t Forget – ACC Approval Needed for Many Landscaping Projects
Please keep in mind that when undertaking improvements on your property, there are multiple occasions when you should seek Architectural Control Committee (ACC) review & approval. There are also typical maintenance improvements that do not need ACC review & approval. Please refer to the following important document before beginning any improvement project — it may save you from dealing with a possible deed restriction violation later!
