Lakewood is a beautiful neighborhood nestled along the Saint Johns River about six miles south of Downtown Jacksonville. True to its name, Lakewood has two small lakes and several parks. Complemented by palm trees, Lakewood has apartments, townhomes, and houses available for rent at various price points. The area is mainly residential, but Lakewood has a commercial area located along San Jose Boulevard and University Boulevard West. These streets are filled with casual eateries, grocers, and other establishments. If you’re looking for a quiet, more affordable area that’s still close to the heart of the city, Lakewood is a great choice.
