An old mill town with modern potential
The Scottdale Cotton Mill formally established the community of Scottdale in 1900, but even today it has room to grow. Investors are drawn here because it's rife with vintage homes awaiting renovation and it’s less than 5 miles from the multitude of indie shops and restaurants in hip downtown Decatur. “The calls I get are from younger people who want to get into renovation,” says Mercedes Moradi, a 14-year Realtor with Atlanta Realty Pros. “They want to come in and fix up the places. They want to turn them into rentals or flip them.”
The Scottdale neighborhood sits about 7 miles east of downtown Atlanta.
Affordable older homes are available in the Scottdale neighborhood.

Stone Mountain Trail lets residents walk as far west as downtown Atlanta
Nature lovers will appreciate the plethora of outdoor options right in their backyard. Two of Scottdale's green spaces were approved for multimillion dollar redevelopment plans, Cedar Park and Hamilton Park. Shoot some hoops, view public art, or cool off in the pool during the summer months at the 5-acre Ebster Park, a couple miles west in Decatur. Residents can take a stroll on Stone Mountain Trail, 19 miles of walking pathways that lead from Scottdale, through Stone Mountain Park, Decatur, and into Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta. A great method of pedestrian access into locales and retail centers nearby.
Cedar Park in Scottdale has a wide-open playground, basketball courts, and a field.

Midcentury ranches and new construction homes in Scottdale
Most of the homes in Scottdale were built post World-War II for the mill workers, although there is some new construction as well, secured by private developers seeking to expand the community, part of DeKalb County's revitalization plans. There are many brick ranch-style homes or clapboard cottages that have less than 1,000 square feet of living space. Moradi says, “Most people buying in Scottdale are hoping that it will be worth more later.” Most single-family homes in Scottdale cost between $100,000 and $675,000. There are many fixer-upper homes that offer opportunity either as custom designs or as investments. The price point is also appealing for residents seeking the amenities of Decatur without the higher cost-of-living.

Skips Chicago Dogs for dining, and downtown Decatur for retail
Moradi says, “People who move to Scottdale are going to be close to downtown and places younger people go. There are a lot of bars and restaurants that are within five to 10 minutes.” While downtown Decatur’s award-winning dining sector is a big draw to Scottdale, the area has plenty of its own local eateries. Skips Chicago Dogs is the go-to spot for Chicago-style hotdogs, Philly cheesesteaks and onion rings. The restaurant has been a mainstay in the community since 1979. My Parents' Basement, an eatery and comic book store, is a local favorite for a burger and beer, as well as an old-school game of pinball or Pac-Man. Scottdale also hosts name-brand grocery stores, such as Kroger and Publix. There's also Your DeKalb Farmers Market, which is open seven days a week. It offers foods from around the world, including more than 400 types of cheese.

Two major highways connect Scottdale to the Atlanta metro area
Scottdale is bordered by two major highways, Interstate 285, which loops around the greater Atlanta area, and U.S. Route 78, which can take residents east to Athens in 62 miles. The MARTA 8 bus runs south of Scottdale on North Avondale Road to take residents to Decatur without a car. The community is in transition now, as Moradi says, “The people buying in Scottdale are hoping that in five to 10 years it will be a young, hip area.” With new developments on parks and new construction homes being built in town, a lower-cost-of-living and close proximity to Decatur and Atlanta, Scottdale has much potential for commuters, investors or anyone who wants to join in this growing Georgia suburb.
