I love this area their is many dining and shopping stores locally. I have had a great experience with the Pine Bush School District the teachers are very loving and caring towards their students. The only thing I dislike is how expensive it is to rent in this area other than that it’s fabulous!
It's very quiet and calming. People are more "stick to themselves", and I love it. I just moved here from the Bronx, and it is such a shift from being tense all of the time and being able to relax.
Monroe is a great area for families to reside. There is a lot of cultural diversity. Locals are friendly. Monroe has the best schools around and the children are receiving the highest education. There are various different places available for entertainment such as the town library, movie theater and ponds. Surrounding areas with great hiking and night life are not too far. Overall just a wonderful place to raise a family and enjoy life.
