Lakewood Gold Coast

The Gold Coast is a lakefront neighborhood of the city of Lakewood, Ohio, United States. Visible from downtown Cleveland, the Gold Coast consists of many highrise condo and apartment towers directly along the coasts of Lake Erie. The Gold Coast runs specifically along Edgewater Drive and Lake Avenue. It is bordered on the west by Gold Coast Lane and on the east along W. 117th St. Some consider Clifton Boulevard to also be a part of the Gold Coast. The majority of the neighborhood revolves around dense low-rise residential complexes on the southern side with the newer and taller buildings on the northern side.

Other

The Gold Coast is mostly residential, however, several hotels and a large number of retail shops (coffeehouses, restaurants, shops, and delis) are on the outskirts of the neighborhood, particularly along Clifton Boulevard and W. 117th St, which is the borderline of Cleveland's Edgewater neighborhood.

Future development

While the majority of the Gold Coast is fully developed and has been since the 1970s, several plans are under discussion to enhance the future of Lakewood.
