Welcome to Lakewood
Historic Ranches, Wooded Streets, Lake Access
Within the Walnut Creek real estate market, Lakewood offers single-family homes generally ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $2.1 million USD. The neighborhood is primarily composed of classic California Ranch homes from the 1940s and 1950s, alongside expanded traditional residences and updated cottage-style properties that preserve the area’s original residential character.
Lot sizes vary throughout the neighborhood, with flatter parcels averaging between 7,000 and 9,500 square feet, while hillside-adjacent properties can exceed 12,000 square feet. Buyers are often young families and professionals seeking more attainable entry points into East Bay real estate without sacrificing lot size or neighborhood identity. Lakewood distinguishes itself through the presence of Indian Lake, its heavily wooded streetscape, and a community-oriented environment that feels more relaxed and organic than later suburban developments.
