Nua, located between Lake Decatur and downtown Decatur, is a residential and civic Decatur neighborhood with a lakeside edge and a grid of mature streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Decatur Yacht Club shoreline and the nearby lakefront drives, where marinas, walking paths, and open water set the pace. Housing reads as mid-century and late-20th-century, with tidy setbacks and a calm, lived-in streetscape. Lake views and parkland shape daily routines, from shoreline strolls to boat traffic. Civic anchors and recreation facilities keep the area active without feeling busy.

NE of Fairview Park in a charming, convenient neighborhood: this 2 bedroom was a dream home for someone when it was built in 1946. Quaint and cozy, it had all the modern needs: 1 car garage, partially fenced yard, hardwood floors and a step saver kitchen, plus laundry hookups in the basement. Currently, this home still retains the garage, 2 bedrooms, bath, the hardwood floors, the fence, and laundry hookups in basement; however, it needs you to bring it back to 1946 or forward into 2024. Ebow grease, paint, and materials is what you need to make this a quaint and cozy home again, one you will be proud to call your own. Buyer's please have their financing/proof of funds in writing, cause this will be a hot, hot, property. Easy and instant equity with a bucket and a mop.
The purpose of this district, and of districts R-2 and R-3 is to encourage and protect single-family neighborhoods and the land uses which are compatible with them.
