Affordable starter homes await your personal touches in quiet, tree-lined neighborhoods. But mid-century fixer-uppers are just the start of Lakewood’s charm.
Throw a rock here, and it will probably land in a lake. Lakewood is home to 7 lakes and 14 parks. A trip to Lakewood’s International District offers more flavor in a few square miles than almost anywhere in Washington. And if you’re building a family, good news, Lakewood has amazing, nationally ranked public schools and community colleges.
