Decatur residents and families enjoy an exceptional quality of life. The city offers a family-friendly small-town atmosphere that welcomes all. And there’s plenty to do, from spending time in nature and playing and watching sports to a variety of recreation and activities, including historic downtown, unique shopping and dining options, local wineries, and other popular attractions. 

Affordable Cost-of-Living

An affordable cost-of-living grants Decatur residents with the necessary income for housing, goods, entertainment, and leisure, while top-notch educational and healthcare institutions and crime rates that are well below the national average provide the community with opportunities and a high standard of living.

Decatur’s cost of living is significantly lower than many of the popular communities surrounding the DFW area, including Frisco, Grapevine, and Flower Mound:
