About Our Community

Welcome to the Lakewood community! Since the 70s our community has grown rapidly with new homes under construction, attracting younger residents with families. We take pride in making this a safe place for all our homeowners and hope you will feel like family once you get settled in.

​

Our community is located in the beautiful rolling hills of East Texas and encompasses two small, private lakes. Our town of Gilmer, with a population of approximately 5,500, is steeped in history and boasts its own Lake Gilmer. We are conveniently located just two hours east of Dallas and one hour west of the Texas/Louisiana border. The nearby city of Tyler, home to a branch of the University of Texas system and many large employers and industries offers even more opportunities for work and play. Follow the links below to learn more about the surrounding area.

 

Our location makes a wonderfully peaceful weekend retreat from the DFW metroplex yet close enough to larger cities for plenty of conveniences and shopping. Of course, don't miss out on the local antique shops in historic East Texas cities, such as Jefferson and Kilgore. The region hosts one of the largest lake systems in Texas, making fishing and boating a favorite pastime of locals and visitors. 

​

We hope you will find our community, nestled in this lakeside, quiet setting, your place of comfort after a long day.
