In north Lakewood near Edgewater, Two Creeks, and Molholm, many apartments sit in small garden-style complexes with open parking lots and simple courtyards. Around Belmar and South Alameda, you can also find newer mixed-use apartments with larger windows, secured entries, elevators, and ground-floor retail. Some older units have baseboard heat, smaller closets, and coin laundry, while newer apartments often add in-unit laundry and central air.
