What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About West Monroe

We are the last street in the city limits and we are very convenient to grocery stores, churches, banks, pharmacies, etc. all or within a mile drive

What is unique is we have so many trees. We feel safe to walk all over the neighborhood. Everyone is friendly.

Stores up the street fast food restaurants and pharmacy lots of people walking around all day and there is churches and car shops

What I like most about the neighborhood I live in is that no one bothers you. The neighbors seem nice and well-meaning. They have a garden next door to grow fresh vegetables and freely distribute them to people in need.

I like how everyone knows everyone else and we're all friendly. We're all willing to help each other out in times of need.

The public bus system is a good thing. And you can walk to any store you want to. The kids in the area are very vulnerable to the violence in this area everyone want to be a thug it is crazy.
