Monroe is a great place to live, there is the old charm of older buildings and homes with the new feel of modern buildings and homes to live. Downtown local charm with a touch of new and modern restaurants to bring in new and old. Monroe has changed over the years but has had great changes with a new mayor bringing life back into the city. I live in the Garden District which mixes old and new. I love living here and cannot wait to see what the city does in coming years with new events being brought to down every month. Food is great as well! You cannot go wrong with local burgers or the best Italian food around. Don't forget the best crawfish boils with friends and family!
This is my hometown, so I will naturally always have a slight affinity for the place; however, I want to emphasize SLIGHT. The crime is through the roof, especially violent crime, the education system is severely lacking (and is quite corrupt, truthfully), and there is little industry in the region. Overall, a town that was nice and up-and-coming at one point in time has plummeted in hope.
It's a cool town but nothing to write home about, a good retirement town with southern charm. The elemetary schools are alright but a little lacking as far as the education standard. There are plenty of things to do, whether is going to the market or going to a football game during the fall. during the evening theres a skating rink, a spartan themed adventure park, a trampoline park and well, regular parks too!
