Two elevators will whisk you to the top floor and a rooftop deck. Sporting new carpet and fresh paint leaving you with nothing left to do but pack, move, and play. Easily accessed storage unit in the basement and on-site manager to accept packages and rapidly attend to owner requests. Pet-friendly, secure and located on the corner of Spring and Boren; it doesn't get more First Hill focused than the Decatur.
