Characteristics

Transportation

Cars are a great transportation option in Monitor. Parking is generally easy, and it is a reasonably short drive to the closest highway, such as I-75, from any home in this area. It is at times difficult to move around by bicycle in this area because there are very few bike lanes. Thankfully, there are few hills to challenge cyclists. It is also difficult for pedestrians to navigate Monitor since running common errands is inconvenient without a vehicle.

Services

Locals will welcome the proximity to primary schools, which are within a short distance from the majority of houses for sale in Monitor. On the other hand, there are only a very small number of high schools and thus they can be a very long trip away. Apart from public schools, there are private elementary and high schools. With regards to eating, house buyers in this area typically have to turn to a car to do grocery shopping. There are also a few opportunities for those who value close by restaurants and cafes.

Character

People who prefer a slower-paced environment will enjoy Monitor. Monitor is reasonably quiet overall, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor - although there are still several noisier sections, especially close to US Hwy 23, I-75 or the railway line.
