"Looking to Spread Out?"
Sunfish Lake is a small community located south of Twin Cities, but within the metropolitan area. The town is exclusively residential, with fewer than 550 residents, and has chosen to remain rural. Because the minimum lot size is 2.5 acres, most of the homes have their own wells and private septic systems, and many of the homes overlook one of the three private lakes in the community.
Pros
- 2.5 Acre Lot Requirements
- Quiet & Beautiful
Cons
- Priviate Wells and Septic Systems
