Decatur, located at the intersection of Highways 380 and 287, is 30 miles North of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan area. Adjacent ot some of the fastest growing areas in both the state and the country, Decatur's real estate market is recognized as a lower cost, and more business-friendly alternative to the high land and housing costs of the Metroplex.

With four-land divided freeway access to Interstate 35, Decatur provides a quality location for the distribution of goods and services. Less than 30 minutes from Alliance Airport and about 45 minutes from DFW International, Decatur provides a mix of the best qualities of small town life with easy access to metropolitan amenities.

Until recently, Decatur has been one of the best-kept secrets in north central Texas. As with any secret, however, word is getting out...

The growth in recent years of the Alliance Corridor in north west Tarrant County and the Texas Motor Speedway in Denton County have brought unparalleled growth to our area. The City of Decatur itself has seen phenomenal growth just in the last five years. The brand-new Carson Elementary School, DHS/DMS multi-purpose facility, Wise Regional Medical Center's new East wing and the newly opened Decatur Civic Center are just a few of our recent changes.

Proximity to the "big city" is just one thing that makes Decatur a great place to live. For commuters, Denton, Dallas and Ft. Worth are just a few minutes away without the hassle of traffic. For those already in the "big city," our unique stores and small-town atmosphere are a draw that's hard to refuse. Award-winning schools and a great sense of community pride are also reasons that locals stay and new arrivals never want to leave.
