DECATUR is just minutes east of downtown Atlanta, minutes west of Stone Mountain, and a MARTA rail station is right under the downtown square, so getting there is a breeze.
Named after Stephen Decatur, a 19th century U.S. naval hero, Decatur retains a strong connection to its history, while preparing for the future with managed growth and responsible development.
Decatur Square, within easy walking distance of Agnes Scott College, is a mix of shops, restaurants, and public spaces.
