- Nearby shops also include furniture stores, clothing stores, Wine Authorities, Book Harvest within a short walk away.
- A bit further, under a 30-minute walk, or a very short ride/drive away, you'll find The Lakewood YMCA, Lakewood Shopping Center (including a Food Lion grocery store, Lakewood Social Restaurant, Cocoa Cinnamon (Coffee shop with delicious churros!), and more.
The larger chain shops are not far either:
