Get to Know Lakewood
True to its name, Lakewood has many homes, condos, and apartments on several lakes as well as in a variety of neighborhoods with winding streets. It’s a great place to live in the summer with boating, swimming, and lakefront parks! Many of the homes were built in the 1950s and 60s, though there are also many neighborhoods of newer homes as well.
Why Lakewood is so Great
You can find it all in Lakewood. As it’s name suggests, there are plenty of lakes and woods, but you can also find one of the region’s best shopping centers, with one of the last remaining large chain book stores. There is easy access to I-5 and Lakewood sits in close proximity to JBLM.
