Midtown Homes for Rent

Midtown in Monroe has transitioned from a mix of small residential patches and industrial spaces to a bustling commercial hub. The area is known for its dense shopping opportunities, particularly along Tower Drive and Louisville Avenue, where residents frequent businesses like Super 1 Foods, Walmart Supercenter, and Twin City Shopping Center. Dining options include local favorites such as Delta Biscuit Company and Taste of India. Despite the commercial growth, Midtown experiences significant traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, and active train tracks can cause delays. Public transportation is available, but most residents rely on cars. Parks are plentiful, with Magnolia Park offering basketball courts and a paved loop, while Powell Street Neighborhood Center provides indoor and outdoor recreational facilities and hosts community events like the Fall Festival. Housing varies widely, with midcentury ranchers and newer traditional styles north of Desiard Street, and more affordable Craftsman and midcentury bungalows to the south. Schools in the area include the highly rated Lexington Elementary, Sallie Humble Elementary, and Neville Junior and Senior High. While Midtown has some minor flood zones, the primary concerns for residents are noise and congestion from the busy roads.
