About Gm

Square

Gm Square, located between I-72 and downtown Decatur, is a commercial and residential Decatur neighborhood with big-box corridors and pocket green spaces. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the US-36 (Eldorado Street) and N Water Street area, where storefront signage, driveways, and steady traffic set a practical, errands-first rhythm. Nearby, the Decatur Civic Center anchors the calendar with concerts and events, while the Transfer House preserves a small but telling slice of local history. Streets shift from wide arterials to quieter blocks with mid-century ranch homes and compact apartment buildings. Retail pads and parking lots define many corners, with the Sangamon River and lake country a short drive north for a change of scenery.
