3 Important Facts About Lakewood

• Lakewood went through a period of rebirth in the early 2000s when the city library got a $17 million upgrade and the historic Bailey Building, located downtown, was given a $6 million facelift, restoring it to its original stateliness. But those are just a few of the upgrades that were undertaken by both the city and private businesses during the first decade of the 21st century. Residential, recreational and health facilities were also added at a rapid pace, making Lakewood one of the most desirable communities in the region.
• The city has also garnered many awards over the years, including being named one of the Top 10 Suburbs in America by Travel + Leisure magazine, one of the best places in the country to raise a family by Businessweek, and This Old House magazine chose the city as one of the best places in the Midwest to buy a house. That last accolade also points to the affordability and accessibility of rentals in the area, which are subject to the same relatively low prices that led to the recognition from This Old House.
• With one of the largest lakefront parks in the state, The Rocky River Reservation on the western border, and The Beck Center for the Arts offering cultural fare, Lakewood is a renter's paradise.
