City Notes
Decatur Main Street Logo


Proximity to the "big city" is just one thing that makes Decatur a great place to live. For commuters, Denton, Dallas and Ft. Worth are just a few minutes away without the hassle of traffic. For those already in the "big city," our unique stores and small-town atmosphere are a draw that's hard to refuse. Award-winning schools and a great sense of community pride are also reasons that locals stay and new arrivals never want to leave.
