The Lowest HOA in the Metro — and Why

Summerfield's headline number is its HOA: roughly $58/month, billed as $700/year per occupant. That is dramatically below Summerplace (~$235/mo) or Claremont (~$230/mo). The reason is structural and worth understanding before you compare: Summerfield's 9-hole executive golf course is public and self-funding. Golf operations aren't subsidized by homeowner dues, so the HOA only has to cover community basics — not a private course. If the course were ever brought in-house, the dues math would change.

Read the Fee Per Person, Not Per Household

The $58/month figure is per occupant. A couple pays roughly $1,400/year — about $117/month combined — while a single resident pays the ~$58. The "$58/mo" you see quoted is the single-person rate. It's still the lowest major-community dues in the metro either way, but budget the per-person math honestly.

Location, Healthcare, and Housing Mix

Summerfield sits in Tigard, an inner Westside suburb, on 203 acres at the foot of Bull Mountain. Legacy Meridian Park Medical Center in Tualatin is roughly 5 miles away — strong healthcare proximity for a retiree, plus Kaiser Permanente Westside and Providence St. Vincent within reach. The community mixes single-family homes, townhomes, and condos, so the "Summerfield" you picture depends heavily on product type. The Bull Mountain topography means some lots are sloped; confirm single-level access on the specific home.

Who Summerfield Fits

It fits the buyer who wants the lowest ongoing carrying cost among Portland-area communities, doesn't need a private golf membership, and values being close to Westside healthcare. The low dues plus Washington County's moderate tax rate make it one of the best total-cost stories in the metro. It fits less well if you want a brand-new home or a gated, country-club feel — Summerfield is established and unpretentious.
