Lakewood California (pop: 81,100) is located just north of Long Beach.

Sometimes called "an instant city" because of its origins—going from lima bean fields in 1950 to a well-developed city by 1960 —Lakewood is, along with Levittown, New York, the archetypal post-World War II American suburb. The vast majority of its housing stock is small, mass-produced single-story houses on tree-lined streets, sold initially to World War II and Korean War veterans who worked in the aerospace factories of Long Beach and the South Bay.
