LAKEWOOD
Luxury Homes for Sale – Dallas TX Real Estate

Lakewood is one of East Dallas’ most established and architecturally rich neighborhoods. Located just minutes from downtown Dallas and situated along the western edge of White Rock Lake, Lakewood blends historic charm, mature trees, and a strong sense of community with modern convenience and outdoor access.

Buyers are drawn to Lakewood for its character-filled homes, walkability, and central location. Whether you’re searching for a restored Tudor, a Prairie-style new build, or a luxury lake-adjacent estate, Lakewood offers a wide range of high-end properties in one of the most desirable parts of Dallas.

As an East Dallas expert and longtime local agent, I help buyers and sellers navigate the Lakewood market with clarity, strategy, and deep neighborhood knowledge.

Lakewood sits within the 75214 zip code. Its boundaries generally include East Mockingbird Lane to the north, Gaston Avenue and White Rock Lake to the east, and Abrams Road to the west.

This is a neighborhood where no two homes look alike. You’ll find:

• Early 20th-century architectural styles like Tudor, Colonial Revival, French Eclectic, and Spanish
• Craftsman bungalows on smaller lots
• Large, high-end estates on tree-shaded streets
• Newer luxury homes with transitional, Prairie, or contemporary Mid-Century Modern design

Home prices typically range from the high $800s into the $3M+ range, with larger lots and lake-proximity homes commanding a premium.

While locals often refer to all of 75214 as Lakewood, there are a few smaller pockets worth noting:

• Lakewood Proper: Centered near Lakewood Elementary and the Lakewood Shopping Center, this is the most walkable section, known for historic homes, strong community involvement, and consistently high property values.

• Lakewood Heights: Located west of Abrams, this area offers a mix of smaller cottages, renovated homes, and newer construction on tighter lots—popular with young families entering the neighborhood.

• North Lakewood / Hillside: Includes newer construction and larger lots, especially closer to Mockingbird Lane. You’ll find a mix of 1950s ranch-style homes and high-end custom builds.

• Lakewood Trails / West of the Lake: Quiet, low-traffic streets with homes that back up to the White Rock Lake trail system. These properties often trade privately or off-market due to demand.

Lakewood residents enjoy a highly walkable lifestyle with easy access to outdoor recreation, local shops, and cultural destinations. White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum, and Lakewood Park are just steps away. The Lakewood Shopping Center offers local restaurants, cafes, and services with a neighborhood feel.

This is a community where neighbors are engaged, and it’s common to see porch lights on, strollers out, and local events well-attended.
