Review of Decatur, Alabama


Been there, done this city!
Star Rating - 6/26/2008
I couldn't afford anything as a nurse in Decatur,Ala.I lived there for 6 yrs. If you don't have friends or family in the Decatur area, you are not going to enjoy the things they do have there. My utilities where high. I had a little house with higher payments then my big house here in Ohio. And crime rate is higher than stated on this page. Food cost more and school supplies are about $200 a year.

I Agree. I have lived there 20 years and it is outrageous. If you are not one of the good ole boys, then you are there to be fleeced.
