Decatur Heights

The approximate boundaries of the community are Glennwood Estates to the west; Winn Way to the east; the Dekalb Medical Center to the north; Church Street to the northeast; and Ponce de Leon Avenue to the south.

It primarily includes the streets on the east and west side of Sycamore Drive in the south and west-central (Ridgeland Ave.) part of the community.

The Springdale Heights subdivision, also located on the east and west sides of Sycamore Street, anchors the north end of the community.

The residences close to Sycamore Drive were developed in the late 1940s, and include sidewalks which link to Decatur Heights.

The residences in the back portion of the east side of Sycamore Street were developed in 1953, but the sidewalks were omitted and the homes are larger 1950s vintage, ranch-style houses.

There is a neighborhood tradition that Bridlewood Drive was part of a horse bridle path used by Agnes Scott College students.

Sycamore Ridge is a totally new development in Decatur Heights, and this subdivision has the greatest concentration of affluent homes in the community.
