Neighborhood Empowerment Home for Rent

Neighborhood Empowerment in Decatur is divided into two sections by West Harrison Avenue, featuring a mix of early 1900s bungalows and worker's cottages in the southern half, and 1950s ranch-style homes and Cape Cods in the northern half. The southern section has more rental units and homes priced between $40,000 and $55,000, while the northern section, favored by young families and first-time homebuyers, has homes ranging from $50,000 to $105,000. The neighborhood's proximity to Decatur Memorial Hospital makes it a popular choice for hospital workers, contributing to quick home sales. Garfield Park and Monroe Park, both undergoing renovations, provide playgrounds, basketball courts, and baseball backstops. The Poage Arts & Recreation Center offers arts, dance, music, and theater classes. Dining options nearby include Tandoori Express and Krekel's West, known for its burgers and ice cream. For groceries, residents frequent Save A Lot or head to East Pershing Road for more options. Public transportation is accessible with buses running along North Monroe Street and Route 48. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, adding to its appeal.
