Lakewood has been carefully planned to create a definite sense of community. A Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND), Lakewood will be pedestrian friendly with narrow streets and wide sidewalks. Streets will bend and curve around native trees and green spaces, inviting a leisurely stroll.

Nestled on 206 acres of pristine farmland surrounding a 21-acre lake, Lakewood will include numerous hometypes in sizes and styles to fit all life's stages. Lakewood residences will be influenced by historically inspired architectural styles. Every home at Lakewood will have a wonderful heritage, drawn from the beautifully detailed architectural exteriors of the past and the comfortable feel of traditional close-knit communities.

At Lakewood, you'll never have to wait until the weekend for a getaway. Lakewood will offer resort-style features and amenities including a lake for boating, fishing, acres of open space, numerous parks, walking trails, a swim club and a 9,200 square foot old fashioned town hall—a gathering place for residents. Lakewood will offer numerous conveniences within walking distance of home, including The Lakewood Village Shops, featuring boutiques, restaurants and professional services. Enjoy the convenience of fine dining just steps from your front door, getting to know the shop and restaurant owners by name and sitting on your front porch conversing with neighbors or overlooking the scenic street, where city festivals and special events take place.

Lakewood will offer a unique quality of life—the opportunity to be part of a vibrant community, obtain goods and services, and enjoy recreation and entertainment—all within the setting of a small Southern village.
Lakewood will continue the tradition of the small Southern towns from yesteryear with its charming architecture and an interesting mix of homes, shops, cafes and workplaces. Lakewood will combine timeless principles of traditional neighborhood design with common sense principles about how to build a real community where people feel more connected to their neighbors and their neighborhood, and how to create lasting value. Many neighborhoods have forgotten these principles—Lakewood is bringing them back to Athens.
