Worst things about living in Lakewood
Look, I love Lakewood, but let's be real about the downsides:
Summer heat is intense
Property taxes are high
Not much to complain about honestly
Don't get me wrong, it's still a great place overall. But people should know what they're getting into.

Traffic is the worst part honestly. But if you live near work it's fine.

If you can afford it, Cedar Hills is the best place to live. Period.
