Lakewood Homes for Sale

Lakewood sits in the foothills just north of Marion as a gated, acreage-oriented community where mountain views and buildable elbow room shape the neighborhood more than dense streetscapes. Most parcels fall in the 1.5- to 3.5-acre range, and the listing history shows a clear split between custom homes and a much larger supply of wooded homesites, giving the community the feel of a mountain subdivision still defining itself over time.

Community Highlights

Lakewood reads first as a homesite community. Recent and historical sales center on 30 land listings against six closed homes, with a median parcel size of 2.5 acres and offerings stretching past 9 acres. Gated entry, privacy, wooded surroundings, and mountain views appear again and again in listing remarks, especially on cul-de-sac addresses and the larger parcels along James View Road, West Lake Road, and Bald Eagle Lane. Wide paved roads and references to site-built construction reinforce a more structured subdivision setting than a loose collection of rural tracts.

The built-home inventory is limited but distinctive. Closed home sales averaged about $322,833, while land closings averaged about $26,526, creating a wide pricing gap between finished residences and future building opportunities. Existing homes in the sales history were built from 2000 through 2016 on roughly 1.5- to 3.3-acre sites. Remarks for those homes consistently emphasize open living areas, bonus rooms, basement space, covered porches or decks, garages, and year-round or elevated mountain outlooks.
