Why Live in South Shores

South Shores in Decatur is a suburban neighborhood situated along the southernmost basin of Lake Decatur. The area features a mix of midcentury ranch-style homes, primarily from the 1950s to '70s, with compact lawns and detached garages. Homes are generally smaller, often under 1,000 square feet, fostering a tight-knit community atmosphere. The neighborhood is relatively safe, with crime rates lower than the national average. South Shores Park, central to the neighborhood, offers tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, and baseball diamonds, making it a popular spot for after-school activities. While the neighborhood borders Lake Decatur, public lake access is limited to Fisherman's Wharf, a small dock for fishing. For more extensive lakeside activities, residents drive 3 miles to Nelson Park. The South Towne Plaza, less than a mile from most homes, provides convenient shopping and dining options, including a Kroger, several pharmacies, and eateries like The Wharf Kitchen & Bar and Guadalajara. Downtown Decatur is just 2 miles away, accessible via US Route 51, which offers scenic views of the lake. Public transportation is available, with bus stops throughout the neighborhood connecting to downtown in about 10 minutes. The Decatur Fire Department Station 6 is located nearby, ensuring quick emergency response times, though the southwest train track can bring occasional noise.
