Thankfully, property owners benefit from a few bus lines, and it is very convenient to reach a nearby bus stop from most houses. This area is not very well-suited for pedestrians as few common errands can be run without the use of a vehicle. In contrast, it is convenient to commute by bicycle in Monroe.

Services

High schools and primary schools are not particularly plentiful in Monroe, and accordingly not always within a short distance. Besides public schools, there are private elementary and high schools.

Character

Monroe is a good township to buy a home in for those who prefer a slower-paced ambience. Monroe is reasonably quiet, as the streets tend to be quite calm - although that is not the case close to the railway line or one of the 2 airports (Southern Cross,Cross Keys). Parks are distributed sporadically, making them very hard to access. Despite that, there are around 30 green spaces nearby for residents to check out, including South Delsea Drive Recreation Complex and Owens Park.
