About East
Lake
East Lake, located between Kirkwood and Oakhurst, is a residential and golf-centric Decatur neighborhood with a storied country club and a lakefront park. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the East Lake Golf Club entrance on Alston Drive, where manicured fairways, clubhouse views, and a steady rhythm of walkers set the tone. Brick bungalows and mid-century ranches line leafy streets, with pockets of newer infill near Memorial Drive. East Lake Park frames the water with trails, courts, and open lawns that shape daily routines. The Charlie Yates Golf Course adds a public, low-key counterpoint to the private greens nearby. A short drive north, the DeKalb Farmers Market functions as a regional ritual for produce and pantry staples.
