About Decatur

Decatur is its own city east of Atlanta, built around a walkable square with restaurants and a farmers market. Shared housing is mostly bungalows and small apartment buildings within a mile of the square, often two- or three-bedroom with a yard.

Getting to work from Decatur

MARTA's Decatur and East Lake stations put downtown Atlanta 15 minutes away without a car, which is rare on this side of the city. Emory and the CDC are a 10-minute drive or a short bus ride.

Who shares apartments here

Emory and CDC staff, teachers, grad students, and families — the most settled and least transient roommate market in metro Atlanta.

The trade-off

Walkable blocks near the square carry a premium and the school district keeps demand high year-round. East Atlanta is cheaper if you're willing to drive.
