Leisure Village East is laid out in long looping lanes and short cul-de-sacs, quiet streets where one unshoveled walk can keep somebody indoors for a whole day. Winter work here means plowing those drives, opening the path from door to car, hand-shoveling the steps, and treating the stretches where shade holds the freeze all afternoon. Coastal storms arrive in this part of Lakewood wet and heavy, and the ridge left at each apron gets broken open rather than left to harden. Repeat passes matter when the wind keeps drifting things back across what you cleared an hour ago. It comes down to neighbors being able to get out — in ordinary weather and in the other kind.
