About
Southard
Southard, located between Route 9 and the Garden State Parkway, is a residential and semi-rural Lakewood neighborhood with wooded lanes and small-lot farms. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Route 9 corridor near the Lakewood Industrial Park entrances, where contractor yards, garden suppliers, and low-slung service storefronts set a workaday rhythm. Housing leans toward ranches, split-levels, and newer subdivisions tucked behind tree lines. The landscape shifts quickly from busy arterial traffic to quiet back roads with drainage ponds and patches of pine and oak. Weekends often orbit nearby open-space trails and local farm stands rather than a single main street. Daily errands and dining tend to cluster along Route 9 and toward downtown Lakewood’s older commercial blocks.
