Bought a home in the past month on Vinings/Smyrna border near west village and loving it!

Decatur is killer. Love living there

That was my wife and I too. We are previous Buckhead residents in our early 20s and moved out here. You won’t find the same “nightlife” but there are a few late night drinking spots if you know where to go (Oakhurst). Mostly just neighborhood people who want to hang and have beers.

The walkability and amenities within such a small area cannot be beat though.

Grove Park / center hill. Still changing, growing and a few years before truly turned around but you will definitely recoup your investment plus more

Inman Park/ O4W are awesome areas but good luck buying anything good for less than an arm & 2 legs
