Decatur

Located in central Dekalb County, Decatur is one of Atlanta’s oldest neighborhoods and is the county seat. Over the last few years, the Decatur Square has gone through a major transformation from small-town square to major city feel. Lots of new mixed-use buildings consisting of retail, restaurants, bars and other businesses sit on the street level of mid-rise and high-rise buildings with office space and residential condos and apartments above them. Decatur also has 3 MARTA stations so it is easy to grab the public transportation that Atlanta has to offer and get nearly anywhere in the city. Though not directly on any major highway in Atlanta, it is not far from I-285, I-20 or US 78. Decatur has many housing options. With all of the new construction in the square, there are lots of condo and townhome options. Lots of ranch homes are on the outskirts of Decatur with mainly newly remodeled turn of the century bungalows and tudor style homes near the square. Decatur is also home to 2 world renowned colleges, Agnes Scott College and Emory University. Near Emory, you will find the upper echelon of the price market in Atlanta. Many professors, physicians and lawyers live near Emory or near the Druid Hills Country Club. Decatur, much like Buckhead, tends to have higher taxes with DeKalb County and City of Decatur taxes.
