5 Houses For Sale In Lakewood Right Now

LAKEWOOD, OH — The Lakewood housing market is hotter than almost any other suburb or metro area in Northeast Ohio. Homes are being purchased almost as soon as they hit the market, creating a seller's paradise. Still, Patch has managed to compile five houses that are currently for-sale in the area (we just hope they haven't been bought since we published).

City officials have often touted the city's stove-top hot real estate market, and noted that Lakewood's true economic engine is its housing stock. While business corridors on Madison and Detroit are key to Lakewood's appeal, the city relies on its burgeoning residential population. That's why most city officials will do everything in their power to keep the proverbial housing market iron hot.

All of the homes listed below can be seen on realtor.com. Here are the five houses:
