About West Monroe

West Monroe is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Monroe Charter Township, with 3,227 residents at the 2020 census, along the southern side of the River Raisin. South Custer Road runs through its northern portion and Telegraph Road forms much of its eastern boundary, and between them they carry most of the traffic into the city and out across the county.

The housing mix is wide — bungalows, ranches, bi-levels and other detached houses, with manufactured-home communities forming a separate category alongside them. In that second case the ownership arrangement matters as much as the house: a manufactured home on leased land and a house on its own lot are different transactions, financed differently.

Waterloo Park gives the community a riverfront setting with trails. Monroe High School stands within West Monroe, though school assignment is settled by address rather than by which community a house sits in, and that is worth checking parcel by parcel here.

Community details reflect public records and local knowledge and can change — always verify what matters to your purchase. Explore more of Monroe's neighborhoods, or browse active listings.
