- New Orleans Neighborhoods #20 - Lakewood
In this video, we explore the upscale Lakewood neighborhood of New Orleans, within the boundaries as defined by the New Orleans City Planning Commission.
For decades Lakewood Country Club operated in the neighborhood, predating most residential construction and bestowing its name upon the developing area. With the finalization of I-10's and I-610's routes in the 1960s, much of Lakewood's golf course was expropriated for the sprawling I-10/I-610 interchange. Lakewood Country Club relocated to the Algiers neighborhood, on the West Bank of the Mississippi River, and the remainder of the golf course was developed as the Lakewood North and Lakewood South subdivisions. The former clubhouse remained for years, visible from I-10 and lastly used as the main building for the now-closed New Orleans Academy. The clubhouse was ultimately demolished to make room for a LDS Church, itself demolished in the aftermath of catastrophic flooding occurring in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

I always enjoy our " drives". Great video as always.
Wow! I remember driving through there a few years ago. Also, I love that Land Rover at the beginning of the video! Lol
Those are some great looking homes
Your comments seem spot on. You know to me, Lakewood doesn't seem like New Orleans nor Metairie. I agree it doesn't seem like the residents would consider south of the railroad tracks Lakewood. Also whenever I've gone there, even with a destination, I still really get a 'who are you what are you doing here' vibe, yet with kind of a 'pass' because I have something I'm doing there, but the 'you don't live here' feeling still doesn't go away. There are some really nice neighborhoods where I don't live in New Orleans but pass through either to go somewhere or just because I'm exercising or something, where I've never gotten that feeling.
It reminds me of River Oaks neighborhood in Houston, Texas.
Is different seeing that black hood
