Lakewood understands the importance of having amenities close to home. The walkability of Lakewood is what separates it from the sprawl of suburban neighborhoods. Special considerations have been made to increase the pleasures of pedestrian and bicyclists including walking trails throughout. The tree-lined streets at Lakewood are narrow with shorter distances and sharper turns to slow down traffic. These elements combined create an environment where the pedestrian is the number one priority - leaving automobiles secondary.
