    Burningtree

    Surrounded by thick forests and roads that serpentine up and down the area’s hills, the Decatur neighborhood of Burningtree can seem like a hideaway to residents. That’s why many of them seek it out, says real estate agent Samuel Heflin of Re/Max Platinum. “It has a country feel,” Heflin says. “You can sit on your back porch and watch deer in the

    Tanner

    Sandwiched between the cities of Athens and Decatur is Tanner — a rural, unincorporated community in the heart of Alabama's Limestone County. Tanner lacks a diverse selection of shopping and dining destinations, and that's partially what draws people there. Locals treasure the quiet, easygoing lifestyle of North Alabama's scenic countryside, and

    Old Decatur

    In the early 1900s, a riverboat captain named Simp McGhee ran the streets of Old Decatur – at least, he acted like he did. McGhee was known for reckless behavior on and off the Tennessee River. He often ignored safety regulations requiring him to slow down his boat, electing to charge ahead instead. He fell for a married Decatur woman named

    Flint City

    The Flint City neighborhood sits on the outskirts of Decatur. It is surrounded by woods, giving the community a feeling of seclusion, as though it was far from an urban center. In reality, the neighborhood is close to some of Decatur’s well-regarded restaurants and shopping centers. “You don’t have all the things that come with the city, but you
