Does anyone have some inside information on Montclair, NJ? We're moving to North Jersey from South Jersey, looking to rent a nice apartment. We're both in our twenties and would like a nice area with a lot of things to do. Montclair keeps popping up as I look at apartments, so I'm wondering if someone can tell me what it's like.
Montclair has a lot of great & different restaurants (ethiopian, greek, french, thai, indian, italian, sushi, cuban etc), concert hall, 3 town pools, bars, lounge/clubs (jazz,dance,live bands) Brookdale park 2 miles away, Eagle Rock hiking lookout west orange, Mills reservation, Presby memorial iris gardens valley rd, Kips castle park verona , close to highways, train to NYC, Montclair college, 3 little town centers, shopping, 2 movie theaters, 2-4 miles to Willowbrook mall etc. One of the most walkable towns around.

Great place to live, plenty to do, beautiful old homes and pretty streets.
Theres upper montclair which is a little pricier, lower montclair is a little more affordable for some people....both are nice areas....each have a little different atmoshphere and personality.
There is the Church st area, Valley Rd & Bellevue Ave area, Watchung Ave & Park St area, Walnut St area among a few others...come on down one weekend and check out the neighborhoods.

Thanks!
Nice town. great place to move to if you are relocating and looking to make some friends in a new area. Lots of restaurants/bars/venues. Very nice town. love it.
only problem is the high schools (and they arent even that bad). Great place for a couple in your 20s. I am similar age as you, went to college in montclair, and I still enjoy going out for dinner and drinks in montclair.
Montclair is very large, some parts of Montclair are better than other parts. I would personally try to get an apartment west of Park st. but that is my opinion, it would also cost more.
