One year after the first family moved in and set up housekeeping, Lakervood Park, near North Long Beach, the nation's largest housing development, has reached a population of 27,000 it rvas announced recently.

Built in record time on .ivhat rvas 3,.500 acres of bean fields, Lakervood Park l'as begun on February 24, 1950. The 54 different types of trvo and three bcdroom homes were completed on an average of 40 a day, and the first family, that of Navy veteran Jim Huffman moved in on July 16, 1950. Since that time Lakewood Park has been a l-rubbub of moving vans as nerv families flooded into the $250,000,000 community.

7,4A0 homes \\rere completed before regulation "X" brought construction to a halt. The population figure is based on the average of 3.6 per family at time of sale. Horvever, it rvas pointed out that the 27,000 is very conservative because the Lakeu'ood Park service office rvhich helped each family move in explained that approximately one third of the \\'omen were expecting additions to their families at that time.

The huge development is virtually a complete city .ivith new schools, parks, churches, and a 154 acre shopping center. The shopping center itself rvill be the nation's larg-

There rvill be off-street parking for 9,000 cars at one time, and the stores will be serviced by a tunnel system so that all loading ar-rd unloading can be done at basement level. Work on the shopping center was not affected by building restrictions and some of the stores rvill open this fall.

I{ome construction will be resumed at Lakeu'ood Park under an cntirely nerv type of FHA approved Drogram u'hich s'ill feature some 21 different houses ranging in value frorn $10,000 to $12,000 rvitl-r initial pavments starting at $695 for non-r,ets and vets. alike, and monthly payments bcgining at $57.50.
