What neighborhoods are along the Lakewood Boulevard Corridor?
Lakewood Boulevard (State Route 19) runs north-south through the center of Lakewood, serving as the city's primary north-south arterial and commercial spine. The residential streets adjacent to Lakewood Boulevard on its east and west sides span the full length of the city and encompass multiple named neighborhoods, including portions of Lakewood Village, Lakewood Plaza, Lakewood Estates, and the Carson Park area depending on the section of the boulevard. The Lakewood Boulevard Corridor residential addresses are those on the streets one to several blocks east and west of the boulevard throughout its Lakewood length.
What construction era are homes along Lakewood Boulevard in Lakewood?
Because Lakewood Boulevard spans the full north-south length of the city, the homes along the corridor were built over the full range of the Lakewood Park Corporation's construction sequence from 1950 through the mid-1960s. The northern sections of the corridor, adjacent to the earlier Lakewood Village and Lakewood Mutuals builds, have the oldest homes at 73 to 75 years. The central sections, near the Lakewood Center commercial area, have homes from 1951 to 1963. The southern sections, adjacent to Carson Park and the Carson Street Corridor, have homes from 1954 to 1965. The pipe profile along the corridor transitions from all-galvanized in the north to mixed and then copper-dominant in the south. For homeowners in the Lakewood Boulevard Corridor, the age range of their specific home is the single most useful piece of information for understanding the likely pipe material and condition: a home at the northern end of the corridor from 1951 is almost certainly all-galvanized; a home in the central section from 1959 likely has a mixed galvanized-copper system; a home in the southern section from 1964 is likely all-early-copper. We use the property's construction year as the starting point for every Lakewood Boulevard Corridor supply assessment, combined with visual confirmation at accessible pipe locations.
Do you serve all residential addresses near Lakewood Boulevard?
Yes. The full Lakewood Boulevard Corridor from the northern city boundary to the southern city boundary is within our core Lakewood service territory. We serve all residential addresses on the streets adjacent to Lakewood Boulevard throughout its Lakewood length, from the Candlewood and Centralia Street sections in the north through the Del Amo, Carson, and South Street corridor areas in the center and south. All Lakewood Boulevard Corridor work is done with written upfront estimates and 24-hour emergency response from our in-city Lakewood base. For properties on the western residential streets adjacent to Lakewood Boulevard, between the boulevard and the residential streets extending one to three blocks to the west, the commercial root intrusion factor from Lakewood Boulevard's commercial landscaping is relevant for any sewer lateral assessment in the blocks closest to the boulevard itself. We factor this commercial root pressure context into the camera inspection interpretation for all boulevard-adjacent properties as part of the standard assessment.
