Why Live in Lakeview

Lakeview in Decatur offers a blend of waterfront living and convenience. It's close to Lake Decatur and major employers like ADM and Caterpillar. The neighborhood is characterized by its seclusion, with less through traffic due to its location south of train tracks and north of a main thoroughfare. Homes in Lakeview, built between 1920 and 1970, include bungalows, ranch-style houses, and Colonial Revivals featuring detached garages and tree-lined backyards. Properties along the lake have private docks but are more prone to flooding. Local attractions include Galloway Park, 2 miles southwest, and Splash Cove, a popular water park. Overlook Adventure Park offers miniature golf, batting cages and a high-ropes course. The Disabled American Veterans Center is a community hub with weekly events like fish fries and wing nights. Dining options include New Moon Café and 217 Flavor LLC, while grocery needs are met by Macon Express Market and Save A Lot.
