Lenox Place is a part of Adair Park, a popular family neighborhood in the ever-growing city of Decatur. Lenox Place is one of the older neighborhoods in the park, characterized by a lot of single-family homes and quaint apartment complexes.
Three parks — Adair Park, Corley Commons, and Parkwood Park — call the neighborhood home. Lenox Place and the surrounding area is full of historic, characterful homes and vibrant tree coverage befitting a locale in the “city in a forest,” as Atlanta has become known. This family-friendly area is also close to the popular bars and restaurants at the center of Decatur.
Dekalb Ave. and Ponce De Leon Ave. NE are two of the most popular ways to and from Lenox Place, the former of which is seeing a lot of development, making this popular neighborhood even more appealing.
