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.

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.
