Why Live in Southside

Southside in Monroe is a neighborhood experiencing revitalization, thanks to a downtown redevelopment plan and the Southside Economic Development District's 25-year initiative aimed at improving housing and job opportunities. The area is bordered by Interstate 20 and U.S. Route 165, making car ownership beneficial for accessing groceries and employment, despite the availability of Monroe Transit buses. The neighborhood is poised for quicker commutes to new commercial projects like the upcoming Amazon distribution facility near Pecanland Mall and a biofuel factory expected to create 300 to 500 jobs. Housing in Southside primarily consists of rental apartments and affordable single-family homes, including midcentury ranchers and cottages, many of which require varying degrees of renovation. Winnsboro Road serves as the main commercial strip, featuring Mac's Fresh Market at Southgate Shopping Center and family-owned Kravins, known for its Southern cuisine. Southside boasts a higher volume of parks and community centers compared to other Monroe neighborhoods, including the expansive Benoit Recreation Area with its ADA accessible playground, sports facilities, and community center. The southern part of the neighborhood features Charles Johnson Park, Bernstein Park, and the Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo, which hosts numerous community events throughout the year. While the neighborhood offers many amenities, it does face some challenges. Northern sections near major roads and the Union Pacific railyard experience more noise, and homes south of Southgate Shopping Center are in a flood zone. Schools in Southside have mixed ratings, with students attending various elementary schools and feeding into Wossman High School.
