Southeast Monroe, located between downtown Monroe and Sterling State Park, is a residential and waterfront Monroe neighborhood with riverfront views and a marina-lined shoreline. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the River Raisin waterfront near the Monroe Boat Club, where docks, bait-and-tackle counters, and casual waterside hangouts set the pace. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century ranches and older cottages, with streets that angle toward the water and the river channel. The River Raisin National Battlefield Park adds a reflective, walkable cultural layer close to the shoreline. Sterling State Park frames the edge with beach, trails, and open lake horizon. Daily life leans toward boating, shoreline walks, and small-city errands back toward the downtown grid.

R-3
Single-Family Residential District
The R-3, Single-Family Residential District, is intended primarily for single-family residential development and for associated educational and institutional uses. The permitted uses and standards of these districts 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 the Citys dominant neighborhood type; 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.
