Wooded 10-acre tract with pond offers a rare private, recreational, and potential home-site opportunity on Decatur’s west side. The property consists of two separate parcels with the smaller parcel located directly on West Center Street and is within the Decatur City limits and has city water. The larger parcel is located directly south and is not located within the City limits. Build your dream home or just use for recreation purposes. Owner says the Pond is loaded with fish. Home at 2500 W Center (Next door to the west) is also available (MLS #6259278 ).
Fairlawn, located between Lake Decatur and Millikin University, is a residential and civic Decatur neighborhood with mature tree-lined streets and a lakeside edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Fairview Park area, where ballfields, playground paths, and seasonal gatherings set the daily rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and tidy brick homes, with pockets of older cottages on quieter blocks. Fairview Park anchors outdoor routines, while the nearby lakefront adds open-sky views and breezy walks. Community pillars nearby include the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater, the Decatur Area Arts Council, and the historic Transfer House. Streets feel calm and practical, with green space doing much of the talking.
