Lakewood Information
Lakewood is a neighborhood in east Dallas, Texas United States. It is
adjacent to White Rock Lake, Bryan Place, and downtown Dallas.
Lakewood boasts the historic Lakewood Theater, which shows classic films and
hosts many contemporary musical and comedy events, and the popular Botanical
Gardens. Surrounding the Lakewood Theater is an entire neighborhood of trendy
restaurants, shopping venues, and historical landmarks such as the Dixie House
Cafe. Situated roughly between Garland, East Dallas, and Fair Park, Lakewood is
a popular settling place for people looking for the city life but averse to high
traffic and high rent. It is also popular with cyclists, runners, and hikers who
want easy access to the lake. There are many unique shopping areas with funky
shops, bars, cafes and restaurants -- most are original and not chains nor
franchises.
Lakewood is a collection of old-fashioned neighborhoods, generally developed
from the early 1900s to the 1950s, including Lakewood proper, Lakewood Heights,
and M Streets. Currently, there is a large number of Historic and Conservation
Districts reflecting prodigious numbers of Craftsman, Prairie-Four Squares,
Tudors, Spanish and Mediterranean Eclectic and Early Ranch homes, many of native
Austin stone. The homes range from two-bedroom bungalows to massive estates on
acreage. There is also a fair number of duplexes, four-plexes and very small
apartment complexes.
Some of the older homes are being torn down in favor of much larger, more
expensive homes. Real estate appreciation in the East Dallas area has almost
equaled parts of California and formerly run-down areas are now more expensive
than most Dallas suburbs.
