About the community
Living in Lakewood.
Lakewood is a small village (~4,000 residents) on Crystal Lake's southwest edge. Arthur T. McIntosh & Company, the same firm behind Inverness and Prestwick, developed the bulk of it starting in 1970 with a deliberate rural-country-lane aesthetic. No curbs, no sidewalks, no streetlights. Larger lots, mature trees, custom homes, four community lakes, and a Larry Packard golf course at the heart of the Turnberry section. Quieter than Crystal Lake by design and with its own village government, but close enough to share the Crystal Lake school districts and the downtown.

The questions buyers actually ask
Lakewood FAQ
The questions I get most from buyers shopping Lakewood. If yours isn't here, text 815-355-0582, same-day reply.
- What's the difference between Lakewood and Crystal Lake?
- Lakewood is a separate small village with its own village government. Crystal Lake is the larger city next door. Lakewood was deliberately incorporated to keep curbs, sidewalks, and streetlights out (Arthur T. McIntosh refused to develop in Crystal Lake because Crystal Lake required them). Property tax rates, trash service, and permit jurisdictions can differ between the two even on the same street. Schools are usually the same Crystal Lake districts (D47 + D155).
- Is the Turnberry Golf Club exclusive to Lakewood residents?
- No. Membership is open to non-residents. As of 2026 the club operates without initiation fees, with social membership at $250/year and golf memberships from $279 (senior silver) to $4,500 (couples platinum). See the Turnberry community page for details.
- Does Lakewood have a downtown?
- Not really. The commercial life of the area is in downtown Crystal Lake, ~10 minutes north. Lakewood itself is residential by design.
Your local agent
Joe knows Lakewood
Most agents will list anything. I focus on the communities I actually know, and the details that determine resale value here aren't in the MLS write-up: which lots back to open space, which streets carry the most consistent demand, which floor plans buyers ask for by name, and what each HOA actually covers.
When you're ready to tour or list, you want someone who's walked the streets, talked to the residents, and read the last 50 closed comps in this market specifically. That's how I work. Text or call any time, and I'll give you a real take, not a brochure.

Thinking of selling?
What's your home in Lakewood actually worth?
Not a Zestimate. A real CMA from someone who's sold this neighborhood, knows the floor plan premiums, and can tell you which upgrades the buyer pool here actually pays for.
- Pricing range with comp-by-comp logic
- Pre-list improvements that pay back, and the ones that don't
- No obligation, no spam, no auto-dialer
