Lakewood delivers an easygoing, residential pace with quick connections to essentials. Tucked on Tallahassee’s southeast side, it offers tree-shaded streets of mid-century and updated single-family homes, plus convenient routes to downtown offices and the employment hubs of Southwood. Outdoor time comes naturally here: weekend soccer matches and playground time at the expansive Tom Brown Park, sunrise walks along the lakes at Lafayette Heritage Trail Park, or a longer ride on the paved Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic Railroad State Trail. Golfers appreciate nearby Hilaman Golf Course, and shoppers have quick access to everyday conveniences along Apalachee Parkway.
Families value the established school options, including zoning in the area for James S. Rickards High School, with additional choices through Leon County Schools programs. The neighborhood’s central-southeast location means after-school activities and city recreation leagues are an easy drive, and community traditions spill over from adjacent districts like Indianhead-Lehigh Acres. Countywide services, libraries, and events through Leon County round out day-to-day convenience.
Whether you’re upsizing, streamlining, or relocating for work or school, Lakewood offers the balance of space, nature, and practicality that many movers seek. If you’re considering a home here, Agent Pronto can help buyers and sellers connect with a great local real estate agent who knows Lakewood block by block.
