I first moved to Decatur for school and have moved back after living in other neighborhoods around Atlanta. I love living here because it's relatively quiet and easy to get around while still being in proximity to Atlanta. There are parks, restaurants, and other features unique to Decatur that I love too. The only thing I would improve would be our transportation options. I would love the City of Decatur to partner with MARTA to create light rail options for the east side of town.
Having gone to high school and still living in the area while in college, I think the school system could be a lot better. Everywhere you go there’s stores closing down and kids loitering. The kids walk around with more firearms than actual adults. If the schools had better programs for both parents and students I think it would help a lot.
Live in Decatur has been awarding to me. I met a lot of people. The schools I attend shaped me into a great student. A long with my parents. Yes there is crime in Decatur. However, crime is everywhere. In Decatur we have plenty of green space, trail and parks to go to. Decatur need to jobs and public transportation to get to the companies.
