Larger homes around Lakewood Country Club
Lakewood Country Club Estates — locally called “Country Club” — is a neighborhood that most residents have their eye on for years before settling on a home. This small community surrounding Lakewood Country Club’s 18-hole golf course is a pocket of larger homes and spacious lots among the area’s more uniform suburbs, like Lakewood Mutual. “Of course, there are people from all over, but for people who’ve been in the area for a while, Country Club is where they look when they want to move up to something bigger and nicer,” says Realtor Allison Van Wig, leader of Van Wig & Associates with Keller Williams Coastal and a long-time resident of this area of Lakewood. Between the tree-lined streets, convenient golfing and nearby shopping at the Long Beach Exchange, there isn’t much the neighborhood doesn’t offer. This explains the only caveat, which is that homes here are rarely listed. “The market here is quiet,” says Van Wig. “People tend to stay in Country Club longer than Lakewood Mutual because it’s what they want and where they’ve been looking to move for a long time.”
Lakewood Country Club Estates features architectural styles including Spanish and Mediterranean.
Lakewood Country Club Estates has some homes with Tudor style and lush landscaping.

Sprawling ranch-style homes and stylish midcentury moderns
Country Club was developed in the 1960s, so ranch-style, Spanish-style and midcentury modern homes are prominent — the designs of choice for many Southern California communities of the period. Along with the variety of architecture, size is mainly what differentiates these homes from surrounding tract neighborhoods. “You don’t find any small homes in Country Club,” says Van Wig. “It also has cool architecture, like midcentury moderns and other custom homes, instead of just being all ranch-style or Spanish-style.” Lawns are also slightly more spacious, allowing for horseshoe driveways and backyard pool patios. Most homes, from sprawling ranch-style houses to midcentury modern designs, range from $1 million to $2 million. Expansive Spanish Revivals and modernist mansions added over the years can range from $2 million to $3 million.
The homes in the Lakewood Country Club Estates neighborhood range from mansions to ranch homes.

Lakewood Country Club and Lakewood Tennis Center
The literal and metaphorical heart of the community is Lakewood Country Club. Homes are built around the club’s 18-hole course, designed by architect William Bell in 1933. Membership is a convenient option for residents, but the course is also open to the public. The clubhouse, located in the neighborhood’s southwest corner, has a restaurant for post-round drinks or an easy meal. The Lakewood Tennis Center is next to the clubhouse. This facility has 14 courts and regularly hosts United States Tennis Association tournaments. Players can book a court or get lessons at the center’s Player Development Academy. Just north of the neighborhood, Bolivar Park has a pool, baseball fields and a playground. Walking paths can be found 2 miles east at Heartwell Park, a 122-acre greenspace.
