The city is incredibly scenic, community-oriented, and lively enough that you can find tons of things to see and do without having to leave the city limits. However, if you want a change of scenery, Madison and Huntsville are just a short drive to the east (roughly 20 minutes and 30 minutes respectively).
Decatur real estate is also highly sought after by young professionals, as the city has been a corporate manufacturing hub for some of the nation's largest companies such as Meow Mix and General Electric. Education has its place too with some of the finest early and secondary schools. Calhoun Community College serves as a highly regarded and affordable school for trades or segues to university life. With a rich scene of arts, antiques, and modern museums, culture and diversity are certainly not lacking here.
Outdoor activities are a rave as the city takes pride in its parks and recreation. With golfing, water sports, extreme outdoor adventures, river boating, fishing, great hiking, and the city’s famed Delano Park for tennis, biking, and running, there’s no shortage of fun in the sun.
