About
The Neighborhood
Midway Woods has long been known as a close-knit, welcoming neighborhood in Decatur, Georgia — a place where people put down roots and look out for one another.
The neighborhood developed in the mid-20th century as families were drawn to its tree-lined streets, proximity to parks, schools, and downtown Decatur, and its strong sense of community. Over the years, Midway Woods has grown and evolved while maintaining the neighborly character that has always defined it.
One of the neighborhood’s most beloved traditions is its rich baseball history, which helped bring residents together across generations. From pickup games to organized teams and community gatherings, baseball played an important role in shaping Midway Woods as a place where neighbors connected through shared experiences and local pride.
As the surrounding area has changed, Midway Woods has continued to adapt — welcoming new residents, supporting thoughtful development, and working to preserve the things that make the neighborhood special. Today, Midway Woods remains a diverse, engaged community shaped by residents who care deeply about where they live and the people who live alongside them.
The Midway Woods Association builds on this history by fostering connection, encouraging involvement, and supporting a strong quality of life for current and future neighbors.
