Profile Of The Lakewood Community Of Dallas - 1974

[@tennisdarrell]

Lived there and belonged to the Country Club in the 90s. Loved it. Hope it's still staying the same. 4th of July parade was awesome as were summers around the pool at the Club.

Boy how so much has changed. I grew up close to Lakewood & attended Lakehill Prep School in the late 80's. It's funny to think how that area was once considered "affordable". Young people could actually buy homes there. I am sure many longtime residents have since been driven from their homes due to the egregiously high property taxes. Values are insane now with many older homes having been torn down by developers & replaced with tasteless mcmansions. How many young people can afford to buy a Lakewood home now? High crime has spread into Lakewood which is further exacerbated by a Dallas police shortage resulting in slow response times. Lakewood WAS a great place to live back when this video was filmed before the character was gutted from it.

Most places back then WAS a great place to live, but greed and over development has spread like a cancer EVERYWHERE!!!

Sorry to hear that, your story is to common place today. Completely unaffordable, high crime, lawlessness, etc…it has changed the landscape of America. The 70’s and 80’s will never be duplicated.

@8:57 that's so hilarious they opted for such a classy artistic rendering to promote their planning idea. That would be unheard of today. Everything's gotta be hyperrealistic and shiny

1:27 Old dude doesn't want apartments in his community. I don't blame him. I live near a hood complex and can't fuckin sleep with all the noise and gunshots.

[@oladeebiazazi4538]

Not all apartments are like that.

What a difference 50 years make...1974 is my favorite year, was 7 goin on 8: the best age for a kid, and back then, there were communities... we did things together, there were always loads of fun and activities every day and night

[@deniseellsworth502]

I was the same age, but we had just moved to Garland around I-30 and Belt Line when the only thing there was a gas station, an 8 Days Inn and a Waffle House. After I graduated HS in '85, I worked with my friend and his dad doing wallpaper and we worked in some of those houses. They were still amazing.

Pops would have an aneurysm if he saw it today. "Not subject to blight" lol.

[@douglasdixon524]

1:30, I agree that houses and apartments shouldn't be mixed in together. I lived in many places, and neighborhoods that have single family dwellings only, are better. Beautiful area of Dallas, Texas.

[@TPIN-l8x]

Dallas Tx is in the house 💯

[@billlevins7460]

times have changed

[@smadaf]

That's some heavy noise-reduction on the sound.

[@badbrain7163]

We moved from a nice neighborhood in the Lakewood area. Moved away bc of high crime, burglary, drug busts, assaults, property theft, carjackings and even one murder (her body was found a few houses up from ours on White Rock Trail). Crime trends were tracked by neighborhood patrol volunteers and DPD-it was coming from surrounding apartments and criminals coming in on Dart train to infiltrate our neighborhood. 😢

[@WilboNaggins]

So it’s what meadowbrook turned into in Fort Worth .. nice neighborhood gone Hood .. due to section 8 buying houses for “housing assistance” and moving people in who refuse to work? Which then leads to income by through illegal acts .. Then 5 or 6 extra people move in for free and they all start parking up and down the street all up in the front yards and property value goes down .. that bad ?

[@j.kylerains4617]

Born, raised and still live in Lakewood. Never had a problem with crime.

[@oladeebiazazi4538]

Are you sure this is Lakewood and not old east Dallas.

[@jeffreymartin6369]

Not that much has changed I have clients in a Lakewood and I used to live there! They don’t just go to Dhurch one thing different about Lakewood is I was never restricted against Jewish families!! The wealthy prominent Jewish people like the Marcus family of Neiman Marcus Aurther Kramer of Sanger Harris and Julius Schepps of Schepps Dairy built their mansions there! Stanley Marcus owned the renowned Nonsuch Place on 1 Nonsuch Road behind his parents beautiful French mansion on Westlake nextdoor to the Kramer estate! Schepps was next door to Ray Hubbard on Lakewood Blvd. RL Thornton on Gaston Avenue, not a Jewish man but a mayor and freeway namesake Hubbard a Governor and lake namesake. Lots of well known people in Lakewood and the best architecture surviving in Dallas.

[@oladeebiazazi4538]

I just recently found out that Neiman Marcus was founded in Dallas by a Jewish family very interesting because I didn’t know we a a substantial Jewish population in DFW.
