Lakewood places you on the leafy west side of Ann Arbor, where quiet streets and mid-century homes back up to trails and ponds. Minutes to downtown and I‑94, it’s an easy launchpad for commuting around Washtenaw County while staying close to neighborhood staples and the Westgate shopping corridor. Everyday errands are simple with groceries, cafes, and services clustered at Westgate and along Jackson Road.
Nature is practically a backyard feature here. Residents wander the shoreline loops of Dolph Nature Area, with its First and Second Sister Lakes, fishing piers, and abundant birdlife. For quick after-dinner strolls, the woods and meadows of the adjacent Lakewood Nature Area weave right through the neighborhood, offering shaded paths and play spots without crossing busy streets.
School days are straightforward, with walkable Lakewood Elementary School, feeder Slauson Middle School, and academically renowned Pioneer High School. The Ann Arbor District Library – Westgate Branch supplies study space, storytimes, and a cafe, and TheRide keeps Stadium and Jackson corridors connected for car-light living. Neighborly blocks link easily to nearby Dicken and Eberwhite, expanding your network of parks, schools, and community events. Ready to make a move?
