Decatur, GA Apartments for Rent

Decatur is the county seat of DeKalb County and sits just five miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, offering a walkable downtown square packed with independent shops and restaurants. If you're hunting for apartments for rent in Decatur, you'll discover everything from modern apartment communities near the city's three MARTA rail stations-Decatur, East Lake, and Avondale-to charming spots in historic areas like the MAK Historic District and the tree-lined streets of Oakhurst and Winnona Park. The city's pedestrian-friendly layout and convenient rail access make getting to Atlanta and exploring the metro area a breeze.

Renting in Decatur works great for anyone who wants that walkable downtown feel with plenty of locally owned dining and shopping options. The city hosts the AJC Decatur Book Festival (the largest independent book festival in the country!) and offers outdoor spaces like the seven-acre Woodlands Garden. Agnes Scott College and Columbia Theological Seminary add to the area's educational scene. With MARTA stations connecting you straight to downtown Atlanta and average rents for one-bedroom apartments hovering around $1,377, Decatur delivers solid transit options alongside a compact, accessible city center that puts shopping, dining, and parks right at your fingertips.
