Characterized as a bedroom community and residential haven for commuters to the employment centers of White Plains and other key metropolitan areas, Monroe is known for its panoramic and serene living environment.  The community’s downtown district offers a variety of shops and small businesses, and limited commerce dots the town and outlying areas.  A pleasing blend of homes are available along the town’s tranquil tree-shaded streets and friendly neighborhoods.  Monroe is just a short drive from Harriman’s amenities, which include the retail mecca of Woodbury Commons.  Those who live in the Monroe area and commute daily to New York City enjoy the convenience of Metro-North rail and bus services into the Port Authority.  Route 17 and the New York Thruway link to major arteries.  The recreational opportunities are diverse, from the fishing lakes and hiking trails of county parks to sports facilities, golf courses, and tennis courts.
