Deerfield is a wonderful community on the north side of San Antonio with mature trees and an inviting look. It is the type of community where people want to come back and buy a home down the street from where they grew up. With its central location, good schools and friendly neighbors, homes don’t stay on the market very long.
Security is important to all of us and Deerfield has handled this is a very effective way. The community uses off-duty officers from the San Antonio Police Department to patrol the community 24 hours a day, year-round. What is unique is the longevity of officers and their dedication to keeping Deerfield safe. The officer coordinating the staffing has been in Deerfield 20 years. The officers truly know everyone like the beat officers in the old days.
The main recreation center has a pool, tennis courts and children’s park. In a nod to some of the more senior citizens, we have just painted lines for playing pickleball as a less stressful version of tennis. For our most energetic generation, our pool is also home to the Deerfield Dragons, a perennial powerhouse in the Lone Star Summer Swim League.
Volunteers foster the neighborly feel of Deerfield. An organized group of block captains provide welcome packages to new neighbors, pass along important information and hold National Night Out events. An architectural control committee takes pride in working with owners and getting responses back within a few days. The seven member Board of Directors handles business efficiently, is always considerate of the needs of their neighbors, and rolls up their sleeves to take on any task.
The Social Committee coordinates activities for all ages. The Easter Egg Hunt and 4th of July parade are annual favorites. Last year the community held its first BBQ cookoff for backyard chefs to earn bragging rights. This year the event will expand to include chili in the competition – rumor is margaritas will be next! And when the temperatures cool off in the fall, we are hoping to bring back Music Under the Stars with talent from the community and introduce big screen Movies on the Green.
We are very proud to be a partner with Deerfield in maintaining a great place to call home.
