About
Candlewood
Candlewood, located between Route 9 and Lake Carasaljo, is a residential and commuter-friendly Lakewood neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a low-rise streetscape. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Route 9 corridor near the Lakewood Bus Terminal, where storefronts, bakeries, and small service counters keep the sidewalks active. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century capes, split-levels, and newer infill on quiet cul-de-sacs. Lake Carasaljo’s paths and water views shape daily routines with a calm, outdoorsy edge. Cultural anchors such as the Strand Theater and the Lakewood Historical Museum add a local, lived-in texture. Nearby parks and recreation facilities round out a practical, walk-and-drive lifestyle.
