    Living in Monroe, NC

    Monroe is a small town in North Carolina located 26 miles southeast of downtown Charlotte and 13 miles north of the South Carolina border.

What’s more, many sites in downtown Monroe are on the National Register of Historic Places. Renters love Monroe’s charming downtown area, which is home to many locally owned restaurants and beautiful historic buildings. Monroe is also known for its excellent schools, which attract many families to rent in the area, and the city even has its own hospital, which provides conveniently located healthcare services. Additionally, lovers of the outdoors also enjoy renting in Monroe due to the town’s proximity to local parks and lakes.

Specifically, the town has a mix of single-family homes; low- and mid-rise apartment buildings; and even some historic lofts. Meanwhile, the downtown area of Monroe is somewhat walkable and, as such, is ideal for renters who want a tight-knit community feel. Outside of downtown, neighborhoods have a sparse, rural feel, so renters get plenty of privacy and outdoor space.
