[2] Although commonly referred to as Lakewood, the town's proper name is preceded by 'The Village of'.

The Village at Lakewood is located in McHenry County in the state of Illinois.

There are also a number of public and private parks and beaches within the Village, as well as walking and bicycle paths and permanent open spaces in the newer subdivisions.

Small parks, beaches, and boat docks along Crystal Lake's South Shore are private and maintained for use by members of the Country Club Additions Property Owners Association (CCAPOA).

This is a homeowners association-like entity for Lakewood houses from approximately Country Club Road (named for Crystal Lake Country Club just to the south) and extending to the south lakeshore.

11.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 4.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
