Lakewood Heights is a primarily Black and rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Many new groups such as the LGBTQIA, Asians and multi-racial individuals are relocating to the south-eastern part of the Atlanta Beltline. Formerly, this neighborhood had a Jewish working-class.[3] It is bounded by:
- the Betmar LaVilla, the Villages at Carver, and South Atlanta neighborhoods on the north,
- the Chosewood Park neighborhood on the northeast,
- the Norwood Manor neighborhood on the southeast,
- the Polar Rock, Swallow Circle/Baywood and Lakewood neighborhoods on the south
- the Downtown Connector on the west, across which lie the Sylvan Hills and Capitol View Homes neighborhoods
