Lakewood
Explore the Top Neighborhoods and Best Homes of Lakewood in East Dallas
In the late 1920s and 1930s, Lakewood was the grandest neighborhood in Dallas. Prominent oilmen and merchants established this as the most prestigious district in the city. Undoubtedly, they consummated many of their deals at Lakewood Country Club, the city’s second oldest, charted in 1912 by Collett Munger. You can also search MLS on this Lakewood neighborhood page for homes for sale in Lakewood.
Lakewood’s reputation as the fashionable neighborhood can be attributed not only to the strong architectural presence of French Eclectic and English Tudor, Colonial Revival and Spanish Eclectic-style homes, but to the wide lawns, deep lots and wooded hills overlooking White Rock Reservoir. The natural beauty of its setting combined with its architectural interest and the activism of its residents insure that Lakewood will remain one of Dallas’ finest neighborhoods.

Lakewood Homeowners Appreciate Douglas Newby
Dear Doug,
Where do I begin? I think the best way is to simply say thank you for making the purchase of our home a memorable and stress-free experience. We look forward to continuing our friendship.
With respect, love and sincerity

Doug, I just came across and watched your TED SMU 2017 talk “Homes that Make Us Happy” (somehow I just found it now, 6 years after the actual talk…) Still, you make points that are as valid today as they were 6 years ago – and will be 60 years from now. So good to have you validate my hunch that good homes are not necessarily the large or expensive or new homes, but the ones where we feel good, where we feel comfortable, and at peace. Kudos to you to keep drumming on the value of good design.

Fantastic, Doug!
Would you believe I put on 5 old TED namebadges, turned off my phone, and clapped you on to the stage?
What a great talk! The content is really insightful and inspiring. Love that you were part of an exclusive society with the keys to the kingdom. I don’t think I’ve ever laid eyes on a top secret MLS book but the grainy print and tiny images and bad paper certainly paint a vivid picture.
The idea of selling the neighbourhood not the home really resonates with me. I’m in an emerging neighbourhood myself. My condo building was CBC’s warehouse in the 1950’s – 70’s. The 14′ ceilings, wide hallways and my “artist and urban pioneer” neighbours make me really happy. I was raised in big, old homes because we were such a big family. I certainly appreciate character and charm over new anything.
Thanks!
Allison
Douglas,
Congratulations on the TED Talk. I really enjoyed it.
Let me know what you plan to do to expand the project.
I look forward to hearing from you.
