Nice and Quiet Area but has crime - 6/29/2017
I have lived in this city for over a year. Even though the area I live in is quiet and the neighbors are nice, the crime that happens around my area is terrible. It doesn't happen in my neighborhood but it still closeby (5 to 10 minute drive from my house). Even only that would be taken care of the area would be great. The county is improving Decatur by building up roads and new property. But any new residents will be scared away if the crime isn't taken care of.

Depending on where you live in Decatur, you will have a different view of the city. Here in Georgia, you have the peculiar situation of having both a city of Decatur and then there is the unincorporated portion of Decatur. Same with Stone Mountain. At any rate, if you live in the city of Decatur, you can't help but fall in love with the place. It has been named a "top city" several times by city organizations who rate cities for quality of life. It has a lot of appeal for the young and old alike. Lots of quaint shops and restaurants. Low crime, nice clean streets, and lots of nice residential communities within walking distance from the center of town.

In the unincorporated areas of Decatur it also depends on where you live as to what you will say. There is a mixture of "good neighborhoods" and "tough/bad neighborhoods." One thing that stands out to me is

Diverse and growing - 7/13/2009
Decatur is 7 miles from downtown Atlanta. It's a place of diverse population with lots of growth, restaurants, live theater, galleries, and shops. City taxes are relatively high but you get alot for you buck. Weather can be an issue - comfort index is on the low side because of hot, humid summers. Cost of living is lower than other US locations with comparable amenities in my
