the country, Decatur's real estate market is recognized as a lower cost, and more business-friendly alternative to the high land and housing costs
of the Metroplex.

of goods and services. Less than 30 minutes from Alliance Airport and about 45 minutes from DFW International, Decatur provides a mix of
the best qualities of small town life with easy access to metropolitan amenities.
