What Renters Like and Dislike

What Renters Like and Dislike About Monroe

It's a beach area. Restaurants are with in a 2 miles. Kroger is in walking distance. Country view. We like going to the community park down the street, they always have little concerts or car shows, bar b q contest going on

A river flowing in my backyard. Camping grounds down the road just past a couple of farms. No stop lights or heavy traffic. A small town nearby for shopping and dining.

I live that my neighborhood is quiet because it's filled with a lot of older people. I love taking walks because the area is filled with lots of historical houses.

They have a lot of hidden gems within this mostly farmed area. I live near everything so mostly essentials are in walking distance.

It is easy to walk around if you are close to downtown.There are walking trails and lots of golf courses.
