Lakewood Park is a central neighborhood with a shopping mall and events
Despite being a suburban neighborhood, Lakewood Park brims with things to do, from one of America’s first shopping malls to crowd-pleasing community events. “It's very centrally located in the city, so it’s close to schools, parks, shopping and freeways. It meets a lot of needs that make life enjoyable and convenient,” says Realtor Debra Van Leeuwen, who works with Home Base Realty and has over three decades of experience in the area. Lakewood Park is the core of a revolutionary suburb — one of Los Angeles' first and biggest post-World War II planned communities — and is designed to have a calm, family-friendly feel. This is reflected in its CAP Index Crime Score: a 2 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.

Ranch-style homes in Lakewood Park
With retail on its west side, the rest of Lakewood Park is mostly residential, composed of loose-grid style streets designed to cut down on through traffic. The front yards have enough room for garden beds, often landscaped with boxwood bushes and agave plants, while many of the backyards have patios or pools. Nearly all the neighborhood’s architecture is midcentury ranch-style, which give the neighborhood a cohesive feel. “Lakewood Park has original two- and three-bedroom homes,” Van Leeuwen says. However, some houses are set apart by renovations and additions. Sales prices range from $850,000 to over $1 million.

It also hosts Lakewood Concerts in the Park, a free summer concert series with music ranging from classic rock to country. “It’s very enjoyable.
