Southern Florida living on the Treasure Coast

Founded in 1959, the Lakewood Park community provides a tranquil living experience along Florida's Treasure Coast. Residents here spend most of their time outdoors, surrounded by the lush greenery of Lakewood Regional Park, the scenic Indian River and the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to beautiful landscapes, residents also capitalize on their proximity to the Indrio Crossings Shopping Center - which provides easy access to a variety of retailers and everyday essentials - and nearby U.S. Route 1 which provides a direct route to downtown Fort Pierce, just 10 miles away. “Lakewood Park is popular for young families, commuters and retirees, all who are attracted to the area by the affordable pricing and proximity to downtown Fort Pierce,” says Natalia Rhinehart, local Realtor with EXP Realty. For many, Lakewood Park is the perfect balance of a suburban lifestyle paired with modern conveniences and a pristine location.

Coastal-style homes and golf course views

Lakewood Park features a range of housing options from vinyl-sided manufactured homes and traditional ranch -styles to multi-story coastal homes and Mediterranean-influenced stucco builds. Boasting a variety of subdivisions from the gated communities of Portofino Shores to the golf course views associated with Spanish Lakes Country Club, this community's median sales price hovers around $310,000. Price points do vary, however, and can range from the low $100,000s to upwards of $550,000s depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a two-bedroom ranch-style fixer-upper can go for around $125,000, while a five-bedroom multi-story coastal home with lakefront views within a gated community can go for around $545,000. It is important to note that houses located within gated communities or featuring direct waterfront views often tend to have higher price points. Many homes here also feature paved driveways large enough to house RVs and are typically fronted by well-maintained mid-sized yards with large blooming tropical plants, like hibiscus flowers. “Lakewood Park offers residents a waterfront community with the option of a voluntary HOA – lot sizes are larger here and home insurance is often cheaper than other areas on the Treasure Coast,” says Rhinehart.

Lakewood Park transportation and flood risk

Lakewood Park is situated between U.S. Route-1 and Emerson Avenue, providing residents with easy access to downtown Fort Pierce and neighboring areas like Florida Ridge and St. Lucie. Residents seeking public transit options can take the Area Regional Transit (ART), a fare-free public transit system serving the cities of Fort Pierce. Lakewood Park riders can start their ride on bus route 7, which operates along Emerson Avenue and stops throughout the community. For those seeking to travel longer distances, the Treasure Coast International Airport (FPR) is only 6 miles away from Lakewood Park. Due to the location and climate of Lakewood Park, there’s a higher risk of hurricanes and flooding within the area. St. Lucie County has recently implemented precautionary measures to strengthen the shoreline and reduce storm damage to residential and commercial areas through the 2023 Fort Pierce Shore Protection Project.

For short travel distances, the Lakewood Park bus route stops throughout the community.
