 "A Quiet Bedroom"
The City of Keomah Village was incorporated in 1973 from a Lakeside Plat consisting of 3 blocks with a total of 150 lots laid out for summer cabins. Residents wanted to live here permanently and built homes up to over $300,000 in value. The Census Bureau has listed Keomah Village as the 5th thru 8th most affluent city in Iowa (1980 - 2000).
The city is an all residential community with water from Mahaska Rural Water, electric and natural gas from Mid-American Energy, 21 street lights, one mile of hard surface roads, a 3 lagoon sanitary sewer system, and an all weather City Hall (but it does not have a telephone).
Keomah Village is located on the Eastern Shore of Lake Keomah State Park which is in walking distance of all residents. There are two entrances into town, one from the south from Keomah Lane which winds through Lake Keomah State Park, and one entrance at the intersection of Royal Lane and 250th Street in Mahaska County.
