Midway Woods Decatur

Midway Woods is located in Decatur, Unincorporated DeKalb County. It affords you with the proximity to East Lake, Kirkwood, Downtown Decatur, Avondale Estates and Oakhurst. Though most homes located in this neighborhood were built in the 1950's and are brick ranch, you may find many styles and including many homes built within the last 5 years.

In addition, you will find real estate in a wide range of price points. There are a few homes that are listed in the low $100's (fixer uppers) up to nearly $700,000. There has a lot of movement in the last ten years, especially in the last 4-5 years. Homes appreciation in the area was as high as 10 percent some years. Large new homes were built on Midway Rd, Conway Rd and Thomas Rd. Many homes on Deerwood Drive and other streets were remodeled. Market forces have reduced the price appreciation, however, there is still quite a bit of construction occurring especially on Deerwood.

Why is this area so popular? Well, for one is it's within walking distance to restaurants in Oakhurst, Downtown Decatur and Agnes Scott. It has a Decatur mailing address, but is located in unincorporated DeKalb so you don't have the high taxes of the City of Decatur.

In 2008, there was talk of the City of Decatur annexing a portion or all of Midway Woods. There was an unconfirmed consensus that the area didn't want to be incorporated because of the taxes. In addition, the influx of students into the City of Decatur school system would have been disruptive to the students. It's my opinion, however, that within the next 5-10 years as this area continues to appreciate that you will see more and more residents in favor of becoming annexed.
