Somewhere between the suburbs and the woods
Tucked into one of Decatur’s northernmost sections, Moundford sits between the city and the wooded farmlands stretching beyond it. The neighborhood, a collection of houses along gridded streets, represents a classic suburban atmosphere, from its tidy lawns to convenient dining and retail options that line the area's southern edge. In addition to suburban charm, homes in Moundford are relatively affordable, selling for a little less than the average price in the Decatur Metro Area.
Affordable midcentury homes
Greenery fills the area, with mature oak trees dotting quarter-acre lawns and neatly manicured hedges following driveways to single and double-car garages. Though most of the neighborhood’s houses are duplexes and apartments, many single-family options are also available. Split-level and ranch-style are the most common housing designs, with prices that range from the mid-$80,000s to the low $100,000s, depending on the size and amenities included. Prices are about $20,000 less than the average in the surrounding area.
