2011 Holiday Lights Winners!

Seasons Greetings Neighbors!

Congratulations to 1841 Chasewood Drive for snagging first place in our Home Holiday Lights Contest! 13425 Kinder Pass snagged a close second. Way to go, guys!

The Social Committee enjoyed driving around the neighborhood and viewing all the decorated homes. Determining our winners was no easy task, as each year it gets harder and harder to judge. Y’all do such an awesome job year after year!

Now I encourage y’all to grab the fam, a thermos of hot cocoa and make an evening of driving around the neighborhood to look at the lights. Both kids and adults are sure to enjoy!

Happy Holidays!
Colette, Social Committee Chair

P.S. Wine Party is our next scheduled event. February 11th – 7pm. Check back for further info.

Austin Statesman highlights Scofield!

Scofield Farms was highlighted on our great location in north Austin with easy access from I-35 and Mopac. Being close to many tech companies, hospitals and shopping centers puts us center stage to all the great action. The Statesman article shines a little light on our fun and quiet “Hidden” neighborhood.

Pool Closing

The pool will be closing this year on October 31st.
