Lakewood’s Housing History and Character
Lakewood grew almost entirely along its streetcar lines -- Detroit Avenue in 1893, Clifton Boulevard in 1903, and Madison Avenue in 1916 -- incorporating as a village in 1903 and a city in 1911 as its population raced toward a 1930 peak of over 70,000 packed into just 5.5 square miles.
