Lakewood is known for its streets that are named after colleges and universities.
Located at 2777 University Boulevard West, the Shoppes of San Jose is a 57,024-square-foot shopping center that was built in 1977.
This 54,875-square-foot Publix Super Market at University Square opened in 2009 at 2875 University Boulevard West. This store replaced an older store that was located at University Boulevard West and St. Augustine Road. Opening in the early 1970s, this store is the oldest continuously operating Publix location in Jacksonville.
The St. Augustine Road Fish Management Area is a fishing and bird watching destination located just northeast of Lakewood. The fish management area contains two fishing lakes that are operated jointly by the City of Jacksonville and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The larger lake drains into New Rose Creek.
