I've lived in Lakewood for about 7 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.

I genuinely enjoy living here. When I first moved here from Chicago, I was surprised by healthcare. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.

A few things worth knowing:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Close to major attractions
- The dating scene scene is average

The downsides:
- Limited high-paying job options
- Not a lot of cultural diversity

Overall I'd rate it 5/10 for young professionals. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..
