About Near

Westside

Near Westside, located between Downtown Decatur and Millikin University, is a historic and residential Decatur neighborhood with tree-lined blocks and a walkable street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along West Main Street near North Oakland Avenue, where storefronts, corner services, and campus-day foot traffic set a steady rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward early-20th-century houses with deep porches, brick detailing, and mature canopy trees. Millikin University and the Kirkland Fine Arts Center add a cultural pulse and a calendar of performances. Nearby, the Decatur Area Arts Council and the Transfer House anchor local arts and civic history. Pocket parks and the lakefront at Nelson Park shape everyday routes for walking and outdoor time.
