About Clairemont-Great
Lakes
Clairemont-Great Lakes, located between Downtown Decatur and Emory University, is a residential and park-adjacent Decatur neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and wooded creek corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Clairmont Road corridor near Mason Mill Park, where trailheads, ballfields, and a steady flow of walkers set the daily rhythm. Streets curve through mature tree canopy, with brick-and-frame houses and occasional contemporary infill. Lullwater Preserve and the South Peachtree Creek Trail lend a tucked-away, outdoors-first feel. Community touchstones include the Decatur Book Festival in nearby downtown, the DeKalb History Center, and the live stages at Eddie’s Attic.
