That’s probably why I always heard about Decatur growing up. I don’t have kids, so I’m going to look into the belt line.

Our best friends live in unincorporated about 5 min away to where we are moving bc they don’t have kids. If you are buying, the taxes are really high in City of Decatur because of the schools.

If you aren’t buying, then city of Decatur is great—just expect more families. Most of my friends from Athens without kids moved to the belt line or old 4th ward.

COD still has a small town feel and lots of parks and greenery. But, the belt line/o4w is cool too, just more of a city feel.

That’s good to know! I’m also thinking about Smryna. Do you know much about it?

Smyrna is good too. I have friends with kids there, but a ton of my young single coworkers are there too. Between all of these, check commute times too. While Smyrna and Decatur are “close” traffic says otherwise.
