Historic homes and White Rock Lake at the door
Why Lakewood?
Lakewood is East Dallas's classic neighborhood, wrapped around the southwest shore of White Rock Lake and organized around the historic Lakewood shopping village on Gaston and Abrams. The streets mix 1920s Tudors and cottages with quality renovations and new construction, and the perks are unmatched: the lake, the Arboretum, and the Lakewood Theater all within a short walk or bike ride.
What you should know
- The Lakewood Theater, a 1938 Art Deco movie palace with a 100-foot neon sign, anchors the neighborhood's historic shopping center.
- White Rock Lake and the Dallas Arboretum sit at Lakewood's northern edge, making it one of Dallas's most outdoor-heavy neighborhoods.
- Tietze Park, one of the city's most-used parks per square foot, sits on the neighborhood's Skillman side with fields, courts, and a pool.
