About location

The landscape around Lakewood East is a flat, low-lying part of the Atlantic coastal plain, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. This is metropolitan South Florida, where broad highway corridors, suburban development and commercial services occupy land close to Fort Lauderdale. Florida’s Turnpike forms a major north–south spine through the region, linking the Miami area with central and northern Florida. Opened in 1957 as the Sunshine State Parkway, it was Florida’s first long-distance toll-road corridor. In this part of Broward County, ramps, service roads and continuous development define a practical, car-oriented urban setting. Lakewood East belongs to the wider Atlantic-facing urban belt that makes southeast Florida one of the state’s principal population areas.

Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
