The Dudgeon-Monroe neighborhood offers a peaceful residential atmosphere within the heart of Madison. Located between Nakoma and Vilas neighborhoods, Dudgeon-Monroe is one of Madison’s most desirable neighborhoods. Monroe Street is built for walking, lined with historic storefronts: Neighborhood coffee shops, ice cream and chocolate stores, boutique shopping and ethnic dining. At the neighborhood’s center, Lake Wingra and Wingra Park are great spots for boating, biking, hiking, picnicking and more. Edgewood College and the private Edgewood K-12 schools are located within the neighborhood. Downtown Madison, the University of Wisconsin, and the hospitals are within a 1-2 mile radius, making it an ideal location for academic staff and students, young families and professionals alike.

The Henry Vilas Zoo, the hiking and biking paths of the UW Arboretum, and the Southwest Bike Path are all just a few blocks away. Walk to your favorite restaurant, pop into some local boutiques or shop at Trader Joe’s. There’s no shortage of things to do right in this historic neighborhood.
