Running along the west side of White Rock Lake, Lakewood is home to both impressive estates and charming cottages. What binds the neighborhood together is a love for the community’s combination of natural beauty, easy access to the amenities of the city center, and a fierce commitment to supporting the local elementary school, which is among the best in Dallas.
Walking their elementary-age children to school along the rolling, shady streets of their neighborhood.
Living in a neighborhood perched along creeks and next to a small lake can make the summer-long battle against being overrun by mosquitoes more difficult.
Being a bit more politically liberal than many of Dallas’ other upscale neighborhoods — not that that’s a high bar to clear.
It’s only about 15 feet deep. It’s no Lake Michigan. But we cherish White Rock, our humble urban oasis.
The neighborhood’s older homes have aged gracefully.
Lakewood’s unique character is enhanced by the variety of home styles.
Residents walk, bike, and hike through their neighborhood’s trails to White Rock.
On the lake, you’ll find sailboats sharing space with kayakers, rowing teams, and people paddle-boarding.
Lakewood is one of Dallas’ most nature-friendly neighborhoods.
Built in 1938, the marquee of the Lakewood Theater has remained a neighborhood icon.
