Close to Emory University
North Decatur is a large unincorporated area distinct from the city of Decatur. Each place has its own school districts, shopping areas and parks.

"We have a very high level of engaged, educated community-oriented residents," says Jody Steinberg, a local Realtor with Bolst Inc. Around 17,000 people live here, surrounded by parks connected by trails.

Medlock Park, Mason Mills Park, Emory Campus and the VA are all connected
Atlanta Path Foundation trail connects neighborhoods and amenities across over 300 miles. The South Peach Tree Creek Trail, which runs along the creek it was named for, is a segment of the path that winds through North Decatur, connecting Medlock Park, Mason Mills Park, Emory Campus and the VA. Mason Mills Park is a favorite for local Realtor and broker associate Juli St George of Keller Williams Realty Intown Atlanta. “There is a train track and you can have a picnic on the trestle above the railroad. It has a community garden, two playgrounds — one for little kids and one for big kids — and it has a boardwalk [over the creek],” she says. The Ira B. Melton Park and Clyde Shepard Nature Preserve are also in North Decatur.

North Decatur features homes with spacious lots
North Decatur is full of bungalows, ranch styles and split levels, and scattered neotraditional styles and townhouses. "You have modest three- to four-bedroom homes on nice quarter to half-acre lots, so it gives you more of a suburban feel while tucked into an Atlanta neighborhood," St George says. Clairmont Heights, Medlock Park and Leafmore-Creek Park Hill are large, distinctive neighborhoods. The path runs through Medlock and Clairmont — and both neighborhoods are right on the edge of upcoming Lulah Hills. Leafmore is sought-after for its bigger homes and central country club. There's a selection of new townhouses on the city's western side near Emory University. North Decatur's median home price is around $520,000, roughly 33% more than the state's median price.
Medlock Park homes come in all shapes and sizes - older bungalows to large, new two-story ones.
The streets of Clairmont Heights are usually quiet and lined with well-maintained ranch and Craftsman-style homes.
