About Dekalb County, Georgia
Atlanta's DeKalb, the most culturally diverse county in Georgia, is home to some of the Southeast's greatest attractions, including Stone Mountain Park. With world-class eateries, shopping areas and arts venues, DeKalb is the ideal destination. Located just 10 miles from Hartsfield International Airport, Atlanta's DeKalb is easily accessible from four major interstates: I-85, I-20, I-75 and I-285. Atlanta's rapid transit system (MARTA) also makes the county convenient to downtown Atlanta, Buckhead and the airport.
Home buyers may choose from upscale Dunwoody, the small-town, artistic charm of Decatur, the Victorian homes in Stone Mountain, and growing southeastern DeKalb, where land is open and prices more modest. Well-groomed apartments and small houses that are heavily populated with students and staff surround Emory University. Also in close proximity to Georgia Tech and Georgia State University, this is a great place for students as well as those working in or near downtown who wish to keep their commute time to a minimum.
