Decatur Overview

Decatur, Georgia, is a thriving city that’s able to maintain its small-town feel. With an incredibly strong school district and plenty of green spaces, it’s an ideal location for families. Renting apartments in Decatur is a great way to get settled in the area whether you’re looking to purchase a home in the future or not.

What is the history of Decatur?

The area that eventually became Decatur was initially a point where two Native American trails crossed. It was primarily settled by people of European descent seeking a quieter lifestyle from other Southern colonies. It developed more rapidly with the invention of the car, when it became an attractive suburban city.

How is the weather in Decatur?

If you live in Decatur, you get to enjoy the changing of the seasons without worrying much about significant snowfall. Winter temperatures are typically in the low-40s, while summer temperatures average in the upper-70s.

How do I get around town?

When it comes to getting around town, most people find that a car can be helpful for shopping. However, those living close to the downtown area may find that most of what they need is within shopping distance. The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) helps commuters get into Atlanta, and there’s a free shuttle bus to nearby Emory University.

What is the Decatur commute like?

Route 278 cuts through the city, serving as a main thoroughfare with many major businesses. There are many ways to drive to Atlanta, and most will take you about 20 to 30 minutes to get there, depending on where you need to go. Those driving during rush hour should expect heavier traffic.

What are the local media outlets?

Decatur residents get their local news from the major stations broadcasting out of Atlanta. Anyone living in the area will want to sign up for the Decatur Focus, which is the city’s official newsletter. It’s here that you’ll find out about what’s going on around town.

Why live in Decatur, GA?

Decatur is a great location for anyone who works in Atlanta but prefers a more laid-back lifestyle. It’s especially nice for families, featuring plenty of parks and other family-friendly fun. It allows you to have the feeling of living in a small town without the inconvenience of living in a rural area where you might have to drive 20 minutes to get to the grocery store. It’s also relatively easy to find affordable housing, especially when you consider its proximity to a large city.

What Decatur landmarks should I see?

Decatur Square, in the heart of the small city, is the place to go. The large, open area is the perfect meeting spot, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance of this area. History buffs might enjoy heading into the Old Courthouse to learn about the history of the area and where to find other historic sites.

What is there to do around Decatur?

Visitors and residents alike enjoy the “Garden Go Seek,” which is a scavenger hunt throughout the city’s gardens. Pick up the booklet from the Visitors Center or at the gardens. If you’re brave enough, go on the Decatur Ghost Tour. A psychic leads the tour and you may even be able to capture ghosts and orbs on camera.

Any annual festivals or Decatur events to know?

" With its relatively mild weather, the city is able to hold frequent festivals throughout the year, mostly located in the city’s square. Head there for live music, books fairs, art festivals, and other fun events. Eddie’s Attic has live shows almost every night and occasionally hosts big name artists."

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

If you’re looking for a night on the town, head into nearby Atlanta. Decatur’s centrally-located position in the South also makes it easy to get away for a vacation if you’re willing to drive about 6 hours or take a flight. New Orleans, Orlando, and Myrtle Beach are all popular vacation destinations.

Where is the best place to move in Decatur?

Most people want to find Decatur apartments with a convenient commute to their workplace. If you’re working in downtown Atlanta, you might prefer to live toward the center of Decatur, making it easier for you to take the rapid transit system into the city. Centrally-located apartments are also convenient for people who want easy access to the fun festivals in the city’s square. Those wishing to drive downtown might prefer to live at the western edge of Decatur, and those who work at Emory University should consider the northwest quadrant, which will offer an easier commute. No matter where you find housing in Decatur, you’ll soon be proud to call it your home.
