A rural community on the edge of Decatur's city life
The Flint City neighborhood sits on the outskirts of Decatur. It is surrounded by woods, giving the community a feeling of seclusion, as though it was far from an urban center. In reality, the neighborhood is close to some of Decatur’s well-regarded restaurants and shopping centers. “You don’t have all the things that come with the city, but you are 5-10 minutes from everything,” says Regina Corbitt, a Realtor with Linda Blue Real Estate. “There are new constructions, and it’s not that pricey.”

The Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge takes care of endangered species
Dancy Bottoms Nature Trail, part of the Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, is a 2.5-mile course where deer, squirrels, rabbits and woodpeckers can be watched. An unmarked road that leads to the trailhead can be found on Red Bank Road, just east of Red Bank Bridge. Nearby, the Wheeler NWR Visitor Center protects 12 endangered and threatened species and is open to guests for fishing, hiking and boating.

Gale Montgomery Park has four baseball fields with lights. AMF River City Lanes bowling alley has 32 lanes and an arcade.
