Lakewood Villa Realty, directly across from the Lakewood Towne Center, offers both residential real estate sales as well as rentals and property management. The small, homey office includes a fireplace in the waiting room, quality magazines and even a candy bowl to welcome guests. Family owned since December of 1960, current owner Bridget Upton bought the business from her mother 25 years ago. She and her small staff of realtors greet potential customers with a friendly smile and a warm handshake.
