Lake Mills – A great place to work, live and play! !

Lake Mills is located in a beautiful agricultural area in north central Iowa, six miles south of the Minnesota border, 10 miles west of Interstate 35 and 2 hours from Des Moines, Iowa and Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lake Mills offers the best of both city and rural living – a small town lifestyle with a variety of local shopping and recreation opportunities, with the advantage of larger city cultural, shopping, entertainment centers, 4 year-colleges and larger airport less than a 45 minute drive away

A state-of-the-art K-12 school system provides a 20 to 1 student/teacher ratio, along with a 2 to 1 student/computer ratio. Many extracurricular activities are also available for students of all ages. Lake Mills offers a low cost of living with average home costs starting as low as $35,000 for a fixer-up home, to ranch style homes from $60,000 to $150,000 and executive homes under $300,000. Average rental units begin at $250 up to $800 for a 3 bedroom home with a double garage.

For wildlife enthusiasts, several wildlife areas exist in close proximity to Lake Mills providing excellent hunting, fishing and photo experiences. Rice Lake Golf and Country Club offers golf enthusiasts a challenging 18-hole golf course that was named Iowa’s #1 18-hole course in Iowa for 1999.

 Lake Mills is large enough to provide an excellent lifestyle, yet is small enough so neighbors greet each other by name.
