The extreme weather in this time of the year is typically a nor'easter which dumps several inches of snow and ice. In the summer months, we will typically see hot temperatures over long periods of time, producing many severe thunderstorms throughout the season as well as a rare hurricane landfall. | | The crime is Lakewood is minimized because it is an affluent area and also the home to some of the most well-trained police in the state. However, there is some crime in the form of theft, because some individuals from neighboring areas will come in and know that home owners are at work for the day, thus their home are more easy to break into and leave without notice. The only other bit of crime that is usually experienced in this town is drug use in the form of pills and recreational marijuana. | | The best part of town are those which are closest to Broad Street and the Main line in town. The houses here are some of the largest and most beautiful that the state has to offer. You will typically see multi-level Victorian homes as well as those built in the traditional style. The people who live in this area tend to be mostly white and upper class. The only bad part of this town is over by Jackson, where the houses are not the best quality and you begin to see rowhomes and apartments rather than older homes. The people who live here are typically white, with a bit of diversity. | | The people in this town tend to be middle aged, married, white collar, educated and also have an abundance of Jewish individuals. In fact we have one of the largest and most dedicated Jewish populations in the state. While there are several other religions in the town, they never fit in well with the Jewish families because of the conflict in religion, but everyone tends to be respectful. However, it is hard to have your voice heard in a town that has one prevailing voice that is driven by religion. |

| The town feels like one of the nicest places to live in the state. As the name states, there are many lakes and beautiful bodies of water to enjoy in this town, and the ocean is not even twenty minutes away. There are a lot of people and houses, but it feel more like a large suburb rather than a packed city full of people. The town is also very clean in the sense that there is next to no pollution. | | | | | | |
