Lakewood

Homes with top-of-the-line equipment, stunning interiors, and excellent community integration.

Welcome to Lakewood

 
A peaceful Californian suburb that is perfect for raising a family
 
Lakewood's incorporation in 1954 was a risky community-building experiment that began with a pledge from thousands of Lakewood citizens. With the support of like-minded neighbors working together despite their differences, incorporation gave heartening evidence that the dignity of ordinary life was attainable in the emerging suburbs of Los Angeles.

Lakewood understands that creating great communities requires more than just well-designed houses. It also entails grasping local dynamics and forming a community that capitalizes on the greatest aspects of the surrounding area. This entails creating neighborhoods that are both attractive and well-integrated with nearby parks, commercial centers, and transit hubs. Each home exemplifies the company's ability to strike the ideal balance between utility and aesthetics.

Lakewood designs each piece of the built environment with homeowners in mind, whether it's a row of Surrey townhouses, a condominium near the park, or a single-family home. The final result is homes with top-of-the-line equipment, practical layouts, stunning interiors, and excellent community integration.

There are many families with small children that adhere to traditional family values here. There are also several excellent local schools in the neighborhood. Lakewood is well-known for its lovely trees. Any street in Lakewood will provide you with a stunning landscape, with rows of thick trees all around you.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

 
Lakewood residents have a wide range of delicious eating options to choose from. From soups to sundaes, Heritage Family Pantry is a classic family-friendly restaurant where you’ll find huge quantities of American cooking. Their large servings are well-known and breakfast is served all day. With their diverse menu, you’ll get to taste real Mediterranean cuisine, at George’s Greek Cafe. Their menu will not disappoint, whether you're hungry for Greek food, want to impress a date, or just want to try something new.

If you’re looking for a great way to unwind and destress, go take a fun, relaxing shopping trip to Lakewood Center. This well-known mall includes popular retail establishments, eateries, and department stores, as well as a theater. Macy's, Costco, Target, Burlington, H&M, Foot Locker, and Hollister are just a few of the shops that call Lakewood Center home.

Things to Do

 
There’s plenty to do for residents in this quaint suburb. The Lakewood Youth Center is located in Del Valle Park, which hosts a number of summer performances. A basketball court with chairs and a fenced playground for children are also available in this neighborhood park. Some other recreational activities here include various game courts, playgrounds, horseshoe pits, athletic fields, and a seasonal wading pool. Then, there is the natural splendor of Lakewood's Monte Verde Park summed up by the S. Mark Taper Vista Lodge, nature walk, and amphitheater complex on the west side of the river. It's possible that it's a "gem" among Lakewood park features. A quarter-mile nature walk winds around the park's perimeter, taking visitors through numerous habitats that depict components of the natural California environment, including an oak wood, a dry stream, and a fern dell.

For an entertaining summertime activity, Lakewood hosts the Annual Big Boom Bash fireworks celebration displaying and honoring our country's independence solely with fireworks. In this parking lot, there will be a designated viewing space where you may exit your car and sit with family and friends. There will be porta-potties and food vendors on site. Umbrellas and tents are not permitted.
