Centered on historic downtown Monroe along the River Raisin, 48162 blends lakefront calm with small-city convenience. Four true seasons define life here—snowy winters, breezy springs, warm summers with Lake Erie sunsets at Sterling State Park’s beach, and colorful falls. Neighborhoods span leafy streets near St. Mary’s Park and Loranger Square to lakeside pockets in Frenchtown, with quick I-75 and Telegraph Road access. Daily needs are easy with Meijer, Walmart, ALDI, and shopping on the Telegraph Road corridor and the Mall of Monroe, plus downtown coffee spots, casual grills, and Erie Bread Company; fitness options include the Monroe Family YMCA and Planet Fitness. Outdoor time is big: River Raisin National Battlefield Park, fishing, kayaking, and shoreline trails. According to Zillow Rental Manager trends from recent months, median asking rent is about $1,250, with most listings roughly $900–$1,700. The vibe is community-minded, family- and pet-friendly, with quiet evenings and regular local events.
