Listed by Erika Baehr• Coldwell Banker Haynes R.E. in Monroe
Northwest Monroe, located between Telegraph Rd (US-24) and the River Raisin, is a residential and light-industrial Monroe neighborhood with a grid of side streets and a river-and-rail backdrop. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Telegraph Rd corridor near N Custer Rd, where auto shops, diners, and small storefronts set a practical, on-the-move tone. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and compact bungalows, with larger lots appearing closer to the township edge. River Raisin National Battlefield Park adds a reflective, landscape-driven counterpoint to the commercial strips. Downtown Monroe’s independent anchors—Dorsch Memorial Library and the Monroe County Historical Museum—sit nearby for culture and local history. Sterling State Park and the Lake Erie shoreline round out the geography with big-sky recreation.

R-2
Single-Family Residential District
The R-2, Single-Family Residential District, is intended primarily for single-family residential development within existing mid-density neighborhoods and for associated educational and institutional uses. The permitted uses and standards of this district are intended to achieve the following objectives: To encourage the continued use of the land for single-family dwellings, which are compatible with the established character of existing neighborhoods; To prohibit uses that would disrupt the character of the existing single-family neighborhoods; To encourage the discontinuance of existing uses that would not be permitted as new uses under the provisions of this chapter; To discourage land uses which would generate traffic on minor local streets atypical of that in single family neighborhoods; To accommodate low-intensity non-residential facilities where such uses could be compatible with the neighborhoods within this district.

Include but are not limited to:
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Senior
