A question... Many have mentioned montclair nj.... I'm curious what is it that makes people say that particular town over the other towns in that area of northern nj? What is it that makes montclair different? I'm going to head up and check it out later. Thank you!!!
so they specifically move to montclair over the other towns?
Well Montclair is probably the quintessential ex-Manhattanite "starter suburb." They move to plenty of others too. Towns that fit the OP's bill would include places like Maplewood, South Orange, Summit. Places like Westfield, Chatham, and Ridgewood have a lot of the elements, but they're a little bit more pretentious (IMO). Getting a little farther from NYC, places like Lambertville (already mentioned) and Red Bank would be good to look into.
That's what I would expect... that the towns nearby would be sort of the same... Which is why I was wondering why so many people specifically said Montclair. Is there something about Montclair which made all those people say it instead of Summit or the other towns the last poster mentioned?

montclair is ok. its hyped imo because its like a college town nestled in an urban sprawl outside nyc. its surrounded by newark, passaic, bloomfield, clifton, etc... which are all no-nonsense towns/ethnic enclaves.
