MONROE, once known for its bungalows where summer people came to enjoy mountain breezes and lakes, is now a commuter town still offering the beauty that attracted the visitors of the past.Situated at the southeastern end of Orange County, the town encompasses three villages -- Harriman, Monroe and Kiryas Joel, a Hasidic community of some 7,500. Entering the village of Monroe on route 17M, a road known by many who have traveled to the Catskills resorts, there is a sign next to a pond that announces, "Welcome to Monroe, The Lake Region."Four big lakes and many ponds are surrounded by open spaces. In this setting, a recent Grand Union supermarket opening rated as an exciting moment.
