Wakefield is roughly composed of the following neighborhoods:
Greenwood consists of nearly all of Southern Wakefield, bordering the Melrose Highlands neighborhood of Melrose to the south, the Horace Mann neighborhoods of Melrose and Saugus to the south and east, and Stoneham to the west.
 Although a part of Wakefield, Greenwood is often labeled as a town separate from Wakefield on maps and in atlases, and a satellite U.S. Post Office exists on Main Street in southern Greenwood.

Woodville consists of much of central-eastern Wakefield.

The Downtown/Wakefield Square area extends from just north of the immediate north shore of Crystal Lake (an area known as Wakefield Junction, where North Avenue merges into Main Street) to the southern shores of Lake Quannapowitt.

The West Side encompasses nearly all of Wakefield which is west of Lake Quannapowitt and Crystal Lake.

The East Side, in spite of the name, is not in extreme Eastern Wakefield.
 Rather, the East Side is about the geographical center of the town, bordering the northeastern shore of Crystal Lake.
 Woodville is in fact to the east of the "East Side".

Lakeside encompasses northern-central Wakefield and borders the entire eastern shore of Lake Quannapowitt.
 Lakeside borders Reading to the north.

Montrose consists of much of northeastern Wakefield, bordering Lynnfield.
 Aside from Lake Quannapowitt and Crystal Lake, many of Wakefield's smaller ponds and lakes, such as Heron Pond, can be found in the Montrose region.
