Metropolis Illinois (Diamond: house, subdivision, move)

[Uncuffu]

Can someone give me info on the Metropolis Illinois area? I am looking at a house on Lake Diamond. Have been told 2 different stories. One was the Lake was 3 acres and the other the lake was 149 acres. The house is located on Lakeview Dr and has a private dock. THanks

Here is a satellite image of two lakes, one or the other being the lake in question. I'd venture to say in both cases that 3 is far more accurate than 149. Neither is more than 300 feet wide by maybe 400 long.

The Diamond Lake Subdivision in Metropolis is one of the nicest neighborhoods . It is located in a rural setting outside the city limits near the Metropolis Country Club. I'm not sure of the number of acres involved - but it is definitely in one of the nicest areas. The lake isn't that big. If I was from another area wanting to move to Metropolis, I would most definitely be impressed. For those who have children, the school system is one that people would be most impressed with.

Metropolis is one of Illinois better downstate towns. As long as you don't mind wearing blue tights with red underwear on the outside you'll like it there.
