LAKEWOOD one of the WEALTHIEST neighborhoods in the

Lakewood trend toward the higher end of the real estate market. On average, the homes for sale in this popular Lexington neighborhood go for upwards of $800,000 to well over $1 million.

The properties are well worth their price tag though.

Development in Lakewood began in the 1940s, and there are stunning examples of architectural styles from each decade since. Eager home buyers can still potentially find examples of the classic red-brick clad exteriors of the neighborhood’s colonial-style originals. Of course, there are also plenty examples of more contemporary designs as well.

The interiors of these homes are just as luxurious as the exteriors suggest. Popular home features inside include expansive and state-of-the-art chef’s kitchens featuring top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances and gorgeous granite counter tops.

Elsewhere in these homes, you’ll find exercise rooms, libraries and large bathrooms featuring lovingly created fixtures and sublime soaker tubs. Large master bedrooms boast large, walk-in closets.
