About Lakewood
Lakewood is an established, non-gated residential community in East Naples, conveniently located near Davis Boulevard and Airport-Pulling Road. The community offers a diverse collection of single-family homes, villas, townhomes and condominiums surrounded by mature landscaping, lakes and the fairways of Lakewood Country Club. Because Lakewood developed over time and includes multiple neighborhoods and associations, buyers will find considerably more variety in architecture, property type, renovation level and ownership structure than in communities built by a single developer.
One of Lakewood’s biggest advantages is the combination of an established neighborhood setting and convenient access to central Naples. Downtown Naples, Fifth Avenue South, Gulf beaches, Naples Botanical Garden, East Naples Community Park, shopping, dining and everyday services are all readily accessible. The community also surrounds a public golf course, allowing residents who enjoy golf to have it close to home without requiring every homeowner to maintain a bundled or mandatory private-club membership.
Why People Like the Lakewood Community
- Multiple Housing Choices: Single-family homes, villas, townhomes and condominiums provide options for different lifestyles and maintenance preferences.
- Public Golf Within the Community: Lakewood Country Club provides convenient access to golf without requiring a bundled golf membership with homeownership.
- Established Neighborhood Character: Mature trees, lakes, landscaping and varied architecture give Lakewood a distinctly established feel.
- Golf and Lake Views: Select residences enjoy attractive views across the course, lakes or landscaped surroundings.
- No Mandatory Golf Membership: Buyers who do not golf are not required to support a private golf membership simply because they live within the community.
- Convenient Naples Location: Downtown Naples, beaches, parks, shopping, dining and recreation are readily accessible.
What You Need to Know About Living in Lakewood
- Lakewood Is Non-Gated: The community has an open residential setting rather than controlled gated entrances.
- There Are Multiple Associations: Single-family homes, villas and condominiums can have different associations, fees, reserves, maintenance responsibilities and insurance considerations.
- Golf Is Separate From Homeownership: Lakewood Country Club is a public golf facility, and owning property within Lakewood does not automatically provide golf privileges.
- Properties Vary Considerably: Age, renovations, hurricane protection, private pools, mechanical systems and overall condition can differ significantly from one residence to another.
- Amenities Vary by Neighborhood: Pools, clubhouses and other recreational facilities within individual condominium or villa associations should not be assumed to be available to every Lakewood resident.
- Current Rules Should Be Verified: Leasing, pets, parking and other property-use requirements should be reviewed through the association documents applicable to the specific property.

Lakewood Amenities
Lakewood differs from many newer Naples communities because there is no single master resort-style amenity complex serving every homeowner. Instead, recreation is a combination of the public golf course, individual neighborhood amenities and the broader recreational opportunities available nearby. Lakes, mature landscaping and established residential streets contribute to the setting, while some condominium and villa associations maintain their own swimming pools, gathering spaces or other amenities exclusively for their residents.
Lakewood Country Club sits within the community and features an 18-hole, par-60 executive golf course measuring approximately 3,200 yards. The course is open to the public, so residents can book tee times without purchasing a bundled golf membership, while optional memberships and seasonal passes provide alternatives for those who play more frequently. This arrangement is an important distinction from Naples communities where golf membership is automatically tied to real estate ownership.
Lakewood’s location also expands the recreational options well beyond the neighborhood itself. East Naples Community Park, Naples Botanical Garden, the Bayshore Arts District, Downtown Naples and Gulf beaches are all conveniently accessible, providing pickleball, parks, waterfront activities, dining, entertainment and outdoor recreation nearby. For many buyers, Lakewood’s appeal is precisely this combination of an established residential environment, optional golf and convenient access to Naples rather than an extensive private amenity package.
