Rent to Own Homes in Decatur, and What a Decatur Address Actually Means
Rent to own homes in Decatur are the closest thing to in-town that we work, about five miles northeast of downtown Atlanta, with three MARTA rail stations serving the city: Decatur, East Lake and Avondale.
The city had 24,928 people at the 2020 census, and it is routinely assumed to be bigger, because several ZIP codes out in unincorporated DeKalb County carry Decatur as their postal address. That is the single most useful thing to know before you start looking here. A house advertised in Decatur may be in the City of Decatur, with City Schools of Decatur and city property taxes, or it may be in unincorporated DeKalb with a Decatur postmark and neither of those things.

Worth knowing here
Why is the Decatur school district question so important here?
Because it is usually the reason a family wanted Decatur in the first place, and it does not follow the mailing address. In a rent to own agreement you are committing to a house for years before you buy it, so if the schools are the point, the boundary has to be checked at the start. We check it; we do not leave it as a nice surprise either way.
We are based in Snellville and work Decatur from there, which is the honest description: there is no Decatur office, and you would be right to ask. What there is instead is someone twenty minutes away who will come and stand in the house with you. More about who we are.
What we do here
What can Fresh Start Home Sales do in Decatur?
These are available on Decatur houses, city and unincorporated DeKalb alike.
Selling a Decatur house on terms
An inherited property, a rental you are finished with, or a house that will not sell at the number you need.
Before you talk to anyone, including us, it is worth knowing your own numbers. The calculator works out a realistic monthly payment from your income and debts, and nothing you type into it is sent anywhere. The questions and answers cover the option fee, the term, and what happens if you are not ready at the end.
