A charming, walkable neighborhood brimming with character

Suburban Historic Charming Convenient Park-Like Walkable Bicycle-Friendly

Decatur Heights was developed in the early 20th century. It was once home to modestly-sized cottages and large lot sizes, but as the center of Decatur (just five minutes away) has grown, so too has this family-friendly neighborhood.

Situated between Downtown Decatur and Scottdale, Decatur Heights is a near-perfect location for anyone looking for a peaceful rental with quick access to unique restaurants and shopping. Like the rest of the area, there’s a large emphasis on preserving the natural beauty of the area. Parks — both kid and dog-friendly — are well within walking distance, as is the eclectic offerings of Downtown Decatur. You could spend more than a day exploring all the diverse culinary offerings of Your Dekalb Farmers Market and the restaurants that surround it.

There’s an even mix of apartments and townhomes available, so no matter what your style or budget you’ll find a rental in this unique part of Atlanta.
