The Lakewoods remain as thriving and well maintained subdivisions, populated by a mix of the original homeowners as well as many new young families. They are conveniently located at the Intersection of Interstate I-10, I-610 and the Pontchartrain Expressway, providing rapid access to the CBD, regional shopping centers in Metairie, and Armstrong Airport. Convenience is complemented by security. The Lakewoods are considered among the safest and most crime free subdivisions in the New Orleans area. They are naturally protected by the 17th Street Canal to the west, the adjacent cemetaries, the Southern Railroad tracks to the south, and the expressway to the north and east. A 24 hour private security patrol enhances security and provides escort services and property surveillance (especially useful when homeowners are away on vacation or otherwise). Public schools include Hynes Elementary School and the Benjamin Franklin magnet high school, recognized as two of the City's best public schools. Neighborhood children also attend both private schools (including Newman, Country Day, Stuart Hall, St. Martin's, Trinity and St. George's) and parochial schools (including Sacred Heart, Jesuit, St. Francis Xavier, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Dominick and Mount Carmel). Bus service for Lakewood is available for several popular private schools.
