Medlock Park Homes for Sale

Medlock Park in North Decatur offers a glimpse into a simpler life with its smaller, one-level ranch homes built in the 1950s and 60s. These homes often feature exposed or painted exteriors and wooden back decks that overlook yards filled with tall pine trees. The neighborhood is part of the DeKalb County School District and includes The International Community School, a public charter school for kindergarten through fifth grade, known for its focus on teaching English as a second language and providing specialized math and literacy instruction. Medlock Park’s namesake recreation area is a local highlight, featuring a playground, baseball fields, a public pool, and nature trails that attract bird-watchers with sightings of woodpeckers, owls, and hawks. Convenience is a key attraction, with downtown Decatur’s shops, eateries, and nightclubs less than 5 miles away, and Emory University nearby, serving as a major local employer. For dining and nightlife within the neighborhood, residents frequent Melton’s App and Tap for sandwiches and beer, and Sky Lounge Café for a lively karaoke night.
