Monroe County is a pretty good place to live, but the property taxes are a bit steep. There is plenty of nature. Forests, hiking trails, and many other outdoor opportunities await you here. There are great, wonderful, kind people here but there is also an undercurrent of racism that is rather sickening. It is good and bad in any place that you live in. The good generally outweighs the bad here. Health care access is more plentiful than it used to be. The same goes for ease of access to grocery and convenience stores.
There are lots of nice people around this area, depending on where you travel. There are some things I'd like to see change like the amount of potholes and the gangs in the neighborhoods to decrease.
Since I have lived in Monroe County all my life, I mostly liked the amount of fun water parks we have available for everyone as well as this place called the crossings which consists of 100 shopping stores. However, I wouldn’t change much.
