Decatur is a former small town/city that was swallowed by Atlanta, but is also somewhat close-in - only a few miles east of Downtown. It tends to blend pretty seamlessly with Atlanta's WWII era upscale neighborhoods to the west.
The historic Decatur square sits smack on top of a marta station, so it's very accessible, and is sorta the defacto hip/walkable node near Emory University.
Well it was considered hip/diverse about ten years ago, but nowadays in Atlanta it primarily has a reputation for good schools, walkability, and all the yuppie families that often work at either Emory or the CDC. It's also very expensive.
Think Brookline, MA, but with a mix of craftsman homes and modern builds.
