So, it seems like everyone wants to be within walking distance to shops and restaurants but with Midtown being so pricey where is the next place to go??? The answer is Decatur. For those who are unfamiliar with Decatur, it is still located inside the perimeter(285), about 9 miles East of Downtown. Total drive time from Downtown to Decatur would be around 15 minutes. Within just the last couple of years Decatur has become one of the most walkable areas to live in. There are a plethora of restaurants to go to including Watershed (owned by one of the Indigo Girls), Cafe Lily(Mediterranean Cuisine) and plenty more. One of favorite hang outs is Eddies Attic which you can hear Atlanta's local musicians. Years ago I would go see Jennifer Nettles when she was part of Soul Miners Daughter. Good times!

Within the last couple of years new condo and loft buildings have popped up including 335 West Ponce Lofts, The Artisan and Decatur Renaissance. All 3 of these communities are located on the main drag of Decatur so you can walk to everything from these buildings.

335 West Ponce Lofts are modern lofts with cement floors, high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. All of the units have either a balcony or terrace and there is garage parking. The community does have a fitness center and swimming pool. Prices range from $200,000 to $800,000. If you are looking for something a bit more unique than the traditional condo 335 West Ponce is the place to look!

The Artisan is also a brand new building and they just started on the 2nd phase. More of your traditional style condo with hardwood floors.The Artisan is pretty popular for buyers who are looking for a 3 bedroom option which is pretty hard to find in a condo or loft building. The Artisan is a much larger development than 335 West Ponce but if you like more traditional than this building shall suit! The community also has a fitness center and swimming pool. Prices range from $220,000 and up. The 3 bedrooms are going for $469,000 and up.

Decatur Renaissance is also a newer condo building. For 1st time home buyers this is a good option because they are more affordable. Prices start from $160,000 and up. Again, these are more of your traditional style condo but not a bad option. Obviously since I am a loft specialist I am more impartial to 335 West Ponce since they are lofts.
