Lakewood East is a small residential corner of Margate, the kind of Broward County neighborhood where single-family living stays low-key and unhurried. Homes here tend toward practical square footage rather than sprawl, and the area feeds into strong choice-based schools like College Academy At Broward College and Nova Dwight D. Eisenhower Elem. If you want a compact, established slice of Margate close to the wider central Broward grid, this is worth a look.
The market here is thin right now — there's a single active listing at $290,000, so inventory moves slowly and options are limited on any given day. Over the last 12 months only five homes sold, at a median of $620,000, with sellers pulling in about 99% of asking. Check Margate homes for sale and watch the live map closely, because in a neighborhood this size the right home appears and disappears fast.
Lakewood East is a community in Margate, Florida.

How is the market in Lakewood East?+
It's a low-inventory, slow-turnover market with only one active listing and five sales in the past year. Homes that do sell hold their value, closing at roughly 99% of asking, but the median days on market of 173 shows properties aren't flying off the shelf. You'll want to move decisively when the right one lists on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
There's no HOA figure reported for the active inventory here, so ongoing dues are likely minimal or absent for many homes.
