About Mak Historic
District
Mak Historic District, located between Downtown Decatur and Oakhurst, is a historic and walkable Decatur neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a leafy street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Decatur Square crossroads of N McDonough St and E Ponce de Leon Ave, where patios, indie storefronts, and courthouse greenspace set the daily rhythm. Community pillars include the DeKalb History Center, Eddie’s Attic, and the Decatur Arts Alliance. Sidewalks trace past restored porches, pocket gardens, and small civic buildings that reinforce the district’s preservation-first feel. MARTA rail at Decatur Station keeps the geography connected without changing the quiet residential blocks. Festivals and gallery nights spill outward from the square into the surrounding streets.
