Home to the prestigious Agnes Scott College and within minutes of Emory University, Decatur maintains strong academic roots. The City Schools of Decatur consistently ranks among Georgia's top districts, making the area particularly appealing for families with school-age children.
The heart of Decatur pulses around its town square, where locally-owned boutiques and acclaimed restaurants thrive. The AJC Decatur Book Festival, one of the largest independent book festivals in the country, draws thousands each year.

Despite Decatur's desirable location, the cost of living is 4% below the national average, with housing costs as low as 12% below the national average. However, the cost of rental apartments will vary based on the community, the location within the city, the included amenities, and the number of bedrooms. We at Greystar pride ourselves on providing upscale communities with premium amenities that match Decatur's sophisticated character — while keeping prices accessible for a range of salaries and lifestyles.

Decatur's culinary scene offers acclaimed restaurants. Transport yourself to Spain with a table at The Iberian Pig for shareable tapas and small plates, or treat yourself to a meal at No. 246 of rustic pasta and pizza.

Definitely! Despite being adjacent to Downtown Atlanta, the city of Decatur has worked hard to cultivate, prioritize, and maintain a small-town, suburban charm that many families love. The top-rated City Schools of Decatur system serves the city independently of the surrounding DeKalb County School District. The city offers numerous parks, including the popular Glenlake Park and McKoy Park.
From the sunny pool at Glenlake Park to the shaded playgrounds at Scott Park, Decatur prioritizes outdoor living for all of its citizens. Residents can also take advantage of the newly revitalized nature trails in Dearborn Park and regular outdoor festivals on the Square. Additionally, the Decatur PATH Trail is a system of bike lanes that makes leisure riding accessible through the heart of downtown.
Decatur Square features several independent boutiques. Find beautiful and quirky gifts at Odd Bird, or pick out a statement piece from Worthmore Jewelers, including their signature Forever Jewelry.
