Steps to a lake
It's no surprise that lakes are the biggest draw to Lakeside. "We've got six, and they are all within steps of every home," says Evan Blake, executive director of the Lakewood Property Owners Association (POA). Not all of the lakes are open to the public; however, residents can go to Lake No. 1, which has its own park, and the 60-acre Lake No. 2, which has a dock that's a popular fishing spot. Hilly streets meander throughout the bucolic neighborhood, revealing an eclectic mix of homes. Mature maple trees provide shade to the narrow streets lined with sidewalks. In addition to its natural surroundings, Lakewood is a shopping destination with its own mall and popular dining spots. "Lakewood is definitely one of the more popular areas of North Little Rock," says Christy Robinson, Realtor for Keller Williams Realty.
The lakes of Lakewood make living and working in the area a joy.

Midcentury homes are unique
Lakewood's first development dates back to 1953 with a grouping of homes placed on 20 lots. Sponsored by the Arkansas Home Builders Association, the houses were ranch-style, designed using different colors and textures, including brick, concrete and wood. "Back then, people could choose personalized features," Blake says. In addition to those midcentury homes, Lakewood now comprises other styles like split-level, Tudor and contemporary, and prices are between $225,000 to $530,000. Lots sizes range from one-eighth of an acre to 5 acres, and most homes have garages. The POA plays a vital role in shaping the community's quality of life and property values. "You are not required to join," Blake says. "But if you do, you have access to all kinds of activities, our community pool and more."
Ranch homes are the most prevalent home style throughout Lakewood.

Old Mill featured in "Gone With the Wind"
There are several parks in the Lakewood area. Delmont Park has a gazebo, a playground structure, a swing set and a picnic area with a grill. The densely wooded Pugh Memorial Park features The Old Mill, a historic re-creation of a water-powered grist mill from the 1880s that appears in the opening scenes of the film "Gone with the Wind" and has a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. There's also the tree branch-based bridge and toadstool sculptures.

Every June, the town throws a community-wide picnic that includes evening fireworks. “We are very close-knit,” Blake says. “There are block parties and sandlot baseball games, for example. There's always something for everyone.”

Local restaurant chains are popular here, including Whole Hog Cafe, known for its pulled pork, brisket and chicken, as well as specialties like the loaded baked potato. Gadwall's Grill has been a neighborhood staple since 1989. "They're known for their award-winning club sandwich," Blake says. "But everything they serve is pretty good."
