SouthField is a planned community located on the former South Weymouth Naval Air Station in South Weymouth, Massachusetts. It is a 1,400-acre (6 km2) site 12 miles (19 km) south of Boston that overlaps three towns: Weymouth, Abington, and Rockland. Developed by LNR Property Corp., SouthField will contain 2,855 housing units and up to 2,000,000 square feet (186,000 m2) that include single-family homes, apartments, and townhouses. The site will also have up to 1.7 million square feet of commercial development, a 45-acre recreational facility, an 18-hole golf course, walking trails and 1,000 acres of undeveloped land.[1]

The project encompasses the pre-existing South Weymouth South MBTA station (Old Colony Purple Line) and includes a new 3.5 mile parkway which will connect Route 18 with Route 3. Governor Deval Patrick has committed $42.5 million in a 30-year bond bill that includes $15 million in federal stimulus money to go with $8 million in previous federal aid.[2]

New residents began moving into SouthField's first neighborhood, SouthField Highlands in 2011. The Highlands comprises four distinct (and different) residential options: The Commons (apartments), The Meadows (townhomes and single-family homes), Parkview Village (townhomes and single-family homes) and Fairing Way (55+ apartment living).[3]
