The Village of Lakewood was incorporated in 1893. Sitting just minutes west of the City of Jamestown, Lakewood is the third-largest village in Chautauqua County. Lakewood visitors and residents enjoy the tranquil charm of an historic lake-side community. Among Lakewood’s many cherished assets are its beautiful shoreline with incredible sunsets, its large, stately trees, and many turn of the century victorian homes and cottages. Lakewood’s community amenities include a public beach, parks and playgrounds, a library, a farmers market, lighted tennis courts, pickleball courts, baseball fields, boat launches, a community sailing facility and a vintage main street coupled with the hustle and bustle of a regional shopping district. Lakewood ensures that it’s a pedestrian friendly community by adoption of a Complete Streets ordinance. And Lakewood’s Active Community Enhancement ACE report supports walkability throughout the community.
