About Holiday

Hills

Holiday Hills, located between Lake Decatur and U.S. Route 36, is a residential and lakeside Decatur neighborhood with curving streets and mid-century ranch homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Decatur shoreline near Nelson Park, where boat ramps, picnic lawns, and open water set the daily rhythm. Brick single-level houses and tidy yards define the streetscape, with occasional split-levels and mature trees. Outdoor time centers on the lakefront paths and marina activity. Community touchstones nearby include the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater for concerts, the Decatur Area Arts Council gallery scene downtown, and the Transfer House at the historic depot for local coffee culture.
