West Decatur, located between Downtown Decatur and the Tennessee River, is a historic and residential Decatur neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a river-adjacent setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the 6th Ave SW and Moulton St W corridor, where murals, local counters, and small storefronts set a lived-in, walk-and-stop rhythm. Brick bungalows and mid-century ranch homes mix with older commercial blocks that hint at Decatur’s rail-and-river roots. The Princess Theatre Center for the Performing Arts anchors nights out with marquee lights and touring acts. Cross-Eyed Owl Brewing Co. and Bank Street Grill keep the local flavor grounded in pints and plates. Parks and greenways along the river add room for a slower pace without leaving the city grid.
