Nestled in the foothills of First Watchung Mountain, Montclair’s natural surroundings don’t (more like, can’t) go unnoticed by anyone. Mills Reservation County Park and Eagle Rock Preservation afford residents and visitors alike miles of hiking trails to explore and panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.
This small town is more than a small town – it’s an artistic community! Art galleries, museums, and entertainment venues are found in Montclair’s downtown area along Bloomfield Avenue. The Wellmont Theater is the city’s go-to spot for comedic relief and concerts.
In walking distance of Montclair apartments, you’ll discover a plethora of international fare, a vibrant art scene, bakeries, boutiques, and bars. Residents highly enjoy living in a commuter city with convenient access to railroads and freeways. About seven NJ Transit Rail stations make up this community, with the Montclair-Boonton Line destination being NY Penn Station. The city has always been somewhat of a railroad town since its early days – the first railroad was established in 1856. In addition to transit, Montclair is home to Montclair State University campus.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
