The Lakewood Heights Historic District, located in south central Atlanta in Fulton County, Georgia, was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on July 5, 2002. The nomination materials were prepared by Georgia State University graduate students and the nomination was sponsored by the Lakewood Community Civic Association and supported by the property owners.

Development of the Lakewood Heights neighborhood began with the creation of a water works for the City of Atlanta in 1874. The water works became defunct by 1893 and the land was developed into a recreation and resort area known as Lakewood Park (currently Lakewood Fairgrounds, which is located outside the district boundary). By the late 1890s, the trolley line came into the neighborhood and the area was developed as a working-class white suburb of Atlanta. The district encompasses residential, commercial, and community landmark buildings.

The residences built within the neighborhood are one-and two-story buildings constructed of wood and brick. House types include bungalow, gabled ell cottage, Queen Anne cottage, New South cottage, pyramid cottage, and shotgun. The one- and two-story commercial buildings are located along Jonesboro Road and Lakewood Avenue. Community landmark buildings include Mt. Zion Church, Lakewood United Methodist Church, and Lakewood Heights School, constructed in 1932, and designed by the architectural firm of Edwards and Sayward.
