Established in 1950.

Located on the Lafayette River, just East of the Granby Street bridge, and just over the Willow Wood bridge. Lakewood is a pleasant mix of stately older homes built in the 20's and 30's, as well as Ranch style homes built in the 50's and several newer homes. The objective of the Lakewood Civic League is to promote the principle of good fellowship among the residents and properties of the Lakewood section of the City of Norfolk; to unite for cooperation and interchange of ideas for the membership's interest in this section of the city, to further the best interest of this section towards beautification, recreation, the safety of its residents and protection of their property investments.
