Lakewood


Lakewood is East Dallas's storybook neighborhood, wrapped around shimmering White Rock Lake. Mornings are made for lake trails, kayak runs, and wandering the breathtaking Dallas Arboretum's gardens. The historic Lakewood Theater anchors a cozy village of local favorites. Feast on wood-fired pies at Cane Rosso, sip margaritas at Mi Cocina, and toast the night at Times Ten Cellars or the beloved dive Lakewood Landing. Tex-Mex institution Matt's Rancho Martinez and a Whole Foods round out the everyday. Stately Tudors and towering oaks set a dreamy, unhurried tone. With downtown and Greenville nightlife close by, Lakewood is leafy luxury with a lake view.
