Lakewood blends calm, sidewalk-lined streets and pocket ponds with quick access to the best of Hilliard. Weekends often revolve around the community’s outdoor perks—stroll over to Hilliard’s Station Park for concerts and the summer splash pad, then roll onto the Heritage Rail Trail for a scenic ride west or an easy jog into Old Hilliard for coffee, tacos, and local events. Bigger green spaces are minutes away, including Homestead Metro Park, where fishing, paved trails, and open meadows make after-school time feel like a mini-getaway, and summertime is anchored by the family-favorite Hilliard Family Aquatic Center.
Families are drawn to the strong public schools. Lakewood Elementary and the broader Hilliard City Schools district offer robust academics, arts, and athletics, with nearby high school options such as Hilliard Davidson High School. Learning continues beyond the classroom at the Columbus Metropolitan Library – Hilliard Branch, a hub for story times, study space, and community programs.
Commuters appreciate how quickly they can reach job centers in Columbus via I-270 and I-70, while weekends are all about trails, parks, and neighborhood block parties.
