Best Big-city Neighborhoods - Lakewood in Dallas - CNN Money Magazine
One of my favorite things about the Metroplex... if you want it, we got it!
Love the outdoors - the walking, the lake, bicycling; but don't want to give up the city - proximity to business districts, the arts, dining, the night-life? CNN & Money Magazine definitely got it right when they named Lakewood in Dallas in their top 10 Best Big City Neighborhoods.
Though one of the older neighborhoods in Dallas (& home to the 2nd oldest Golf Course/CC), the area remains both a sought after community to live and a destination for DFW. With such a diverse style (& age) of homes & buildings, sometimes just a simple drive or walk-thru neighborhoods is as much a treat as a day at White Rock Lake. From Charles Dilbeck & O'Neil Ford - to the Eberson designed iconic Lakewood Theater; touring this area is quite an education in mid-century & early modern Texas architecture. Home prices start solidly in the $500k's - there are a few that sneak in under, but prices look up from there much more than down.
While we may clog up your parking, when people drive out the 'burbs (and past 100's of acres of parks, shopping, & more along the way) just to experience your city's offerings; then you are doing it right!
Congrats to Lakewood!
