West Monroe is bursting with family-fun attractions

Charming River Museums Wineries Louisiana

The city of West Monroe has a number of charming attributes and enjoyable attractions inside its quaint community. Its “twin city" Monroe is on the east side of the Ouachita River, making West Monroe on the west, hence its name.

Biedenharm Museum & Garden is a local gem with a Coca-Cola gift shop. The 1914 mansion was home of the first company bottler, Joseph Biedenharn, and includes a gorgeous garden oasis and brand memorabilia from the Biedenharn family. Landry Vineyard is also a fun place to visit in town. They produce a variety of wines, pair them with cheese, and host outdoor concerts.

In addition to their West Monroe apartments, locals enjoy having direct access to Interstate 20 for easy travel into Shreveport, LA or Jackson, MS. Lazarre and Kiroli Park are two community green spaces perfect for outdoor recreation. West Monroe offers a wide variety of dining options that range from fast food chains to sit-down and even gourmet restaurants.

The Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo is a fabulous family-friendly attraction with acres of wildlife habitats, a boat excursion, and petting zoo. Are you ready for West Monroe? Look for your dream apartment today!
