The city

Living in Decatur, GA

Decatur sits just east of Atlanta with a walkable downtown square, indie restaurants, and a tight-knit community feel. Tree-lined streets and historic bungalows give this inner suburb its own identity, separate from the city it borders—an appealing option for nurses who want metro access with a slower pace.
