[edit] History
The land for the Lakewood Suburban Centre was annexed between 1975 and 1984.[2] Residential construction began in 2003 after infrastructure had been completed. The housing stock is composed entirely of low-rise apartment style condominiums and townhouses.[1] City council approved architectural controls for some of Lakewood SC's development in 2006.[3] All the lots in the neighbourhood have been purchased, so development will continue until full build-out is achieved.
