Architecture
The Adair Park community's residences include several architectural styles. The most common historic homes are Craftsman Bungalows from the early 1900s. Single-family neighborhoods include Lenox Place, an older neighborhood centered on Drexel Ave. and Melrose Ave., and Rosewalk, a new community on Ridley Ln. The community also contains late 20th Century townhomes that are popular due to their affordability and proximity to downtown Decatur.
