There are also townhomes that typically sell between the mid-$200,000s and the lower $400,000s.

The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Parks Reserve has tons to do
People often move to Centerville for its access to the outdoors. "When you come home from work, you’re just a few minutes away from lots of trails and kayaking and canoeing on the lakes," says Andrew Prasky, a Realtor with Re/Max Advantage Plus who lives in the area. "It’s awesome.” The most popular spot is Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve, where paved trails snake through woodlands and along shorelines. Swimming at the park's Centerville Beach is popular, and people can go boating and fishing on several of its lakes. There are also campgrounds, playgrounds and other activities. Away from the water, Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park provides sports courts and a skate area.
