The Neighborhood Hot List: Oakhurst

One of Decatur’s hippest neighborhoods, Oakhurst has carved out its own identity as a place for young professionals, families and those who also like a laid back good time. With a host of festivals, events and a vibrant village, Oakhurst continues to charm.

1 Village Vibe

If you walk over to the village, it might be just like arriving at “Cheers” - chances are someone is going to know your name. Whether you’re stopping off at Universal Joint for a burger and beer on the patio, some good Mexican at Mezcalito’s or a coffee at Kavarna, there are lots of places to get your food and drink fill.

2 Oakhurst Jazz Nights

Head over to the historic Solarium for some art, wine and nights of jazz every spring and fall. The former Scottish Rite Hospital site makes for an interesting backdrop to hear all sorts of local music.

3 Wylde Center

Organized programs, classes and events help develop creative skills in sustainable urban living, organic gardening, health and nutrition.

4 Oakhurst Porch Fest

Last year’s inaugural event saw hundreds of music lovers walking around the community watching local bands play on the porches of homeowners. The second event is set for Oct. 8.
