Quaint and leafy streets on the upscale side of Monroe
The residential stretch of North Monroe extends from the Garden District northward towards Black Bayou Lake National Wildlife Refuge. Cut through by Bayou Desiard, this upscale section of the city is known for its large homes that run along quiet, tree-lined streets. Manicured yards are the cherry on top of a quaint multigenerational community that depends on athletic clubs and churches for its secure, close-knit feeling. "It's got the bayou running along it, you've got access to the park, you've got access to the river," says Realtor Melinda Winn of THLT Realty. "It's just the right kind of area to raise a family in."

Midcentury ranch style homes are popular choice in North Monroe.
New construction and midcentury ranchers for wide prices
North Monroe is split into two portions by the bayou, with the northern portion containing the majority of newer construction. New traditional homes built in the last 10 years are usually found in subdivisions like Belle Landing and are priced between $250,000 and $750,000. South of that, in both the River Oaks subdivision and across the bayou in established residential areas, there are numerous midcentury ranchers. A few needing mild repairs can sell for as low as $60,000, while turnkey options sell for between $100,000 and $400,000. Cape Cods and Colonial Revival manors are sprinkled in between, selling for between $225,000 and $600,000. However, some sell for more depending on square footage and location, especially manors along the bayou, which can sell for up to $2 million.
Sallie Humble Elementary School is a great start in education for the local kids.
The top elementary school in Ouachita Parish
Students in North Monroe attend grades K-2 at Lexington Elementary, an A-minus-rated school by Niche, ranked the top elementary school in Ouachita Parish.

Students in 7th and 8th grade attend Neville Junior High, then spend the last four years of school at Neville High School, a B-plus-rated school on the National Register of Historic Places.
Private golf clubs and public club sports at Forsythe Park
North Monroe includes and borders some of the best parks in the city. Club sports like tennis and golf are especially popular with locals. Forsythe Park, the Garden District's cornerstone green space, is the main public option for golf outings, tennis matches and kayak trips on the Ouachita River. The Bayou Desiard Country Club's fairways are open to members. Those seeking an open tennis court can also purchase a membership for the Monroe Athletic Club, which offers an aquatic center and indoor gym for hot summer days.
Forsythe Park has it all.
There is a golf practice field in Forsythe Park where locals can enjoy hitting the Tee time.

Reservations at Genusa's Italian
Most of North Monroe is residential, so locals venture elsewhere for errands and entertainment. The nearest concentration of activity is on Forsythe Avenue, where locals go for prescription refills, bank deposits and healthcare appointments. 18th Street is the busiest concentration of activity with its many big box stores, chain restaurants and strip malls. Residents do their grocery shopping in this area at either a Brookshire's or a Walmart Neighborhood Market. Aside from big box shopping, elegant eateries like Genusa's Italian offer places for upscale dinners. Meanwhile, Jay Pappa's casual menu of seafood items has inventive spins on Southern Louisiana traditions, such as BBQ shrimp. For a refreshing sweet treat, the local chain Eskamoe's Frozen Custard & More has a location on Forsythe Avenue.
Genusa`s is one of the oldest restaurant in Monroe that serving residents over 50 years.
Residents of North Monroe have multiple dining options to chose from when it comes to going out.

Longer drives to the highway
Time spent commuting depends on a resident's address. The closest entrance ramps to Interstate 20 are roughly 2.5 miles south of the neighborhood and buffered by downtown congestion. Sterlington Road offers connections with most of the major east-west roads that pass through Monroe, but reaching it can be a long journey for some residents. Those who prefer public transportation rely on Monroe Transit buses, which serve most of the neighborhood except for a few corners like River Oaks.
Genusa`s Restaurant has a wide variety of traditional dishes that the locals love.
Churches host frequent picnics, bake sales and lunch groups
Although major events like the Downtown Gallery Crawl pull residents out of North Monroe, a multitude of religious institutions keep them close to home, too. Lunch groups at Jesus the Good Shepherd Catholic Church are essential weekly fixtures for some local seniors. Annual holiday picnics with St. Alban's Episcopal Church are a yearly celebration for the whole family. Locals can judge recipes for baklava and other sweet treats at bake sales for Saints Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church. Meanwhile, youth groups and retreats at Temple B'Nai Israel offer summer activities to local Jewish kids.
The Black Bayou Lake Natural Refuge is located at the north side of the neighborhood.
Some flood zones
There are several 100-year flood zones throughout North Monroe. Elevation decreases the further one gets from the Ouachita River and Bayou DeSiard, meaning homes closest to the river and bayou are the least at risk of flooding, while those further inland are more at risk.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
