Lakewood is a beautiful older neighborhood situated in rolling hills on the western shores of Whte Rock Lake, northeast of downtown. Central Lakewood dates from the twenties and has both small and very large homes on rolling lawns built by some of the country’s most famous architects of the period. Hollywood film makers frequently film in the neighborhoods of Lakewood when they need accurate examples of 1920’s Mediterranean or American Tudor style homes and neighborhoods.
The neighborhoods tend to have a mix of young couples in the smaller homes and young families in the larger homes. Most of the children in the area go to private schools although many attend Lakewood Elementary in their early years. The neighborhood’s east side adjoins White Rock Trail, an extensive bike and jogging trail that wraps around the lake and extends north several miles.
The lifestyle is family and community oriented and there is a great deal of pride in the quality of life in the neighborhood. Older homes tend to be remodeled and updated maintaining their architectural style rather than torn down and replaced. The neighborhood honors its history and character and the residents have a sense of permanence of home.
