The Lakewood development is located in Marion, NC...

"Where main street meets the mountains."

Marion is the County Seat of McDowell County, set in the eastern side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Founded in 1845, the Marion area is replete with history. In the early days there were only horses, mules, and wagons to help build this fine community. At the time of its founding, Marion was the "end of the line" for west-bound buggies, horses, wagons, carriages, and stagecoaches. Beyond the end of Main Street, pioneers had to cross the river when the water was "not up", and then...
on westward.

Today Marion's 7,300 area residents enjoy a good quality of life, safe streets and neighborhoods. There are plenty of recreational amenities, and ample shopping opportunities.
