About the Community
Montclair, New Jersey sits just 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan — close enough for a quick commute via major highways or the Montclair-Boonton rail line, yet distinctly its own walkable, arts-forward community. The town is home to the Montclair Art Museum, a thriving gallery and theater scene, top-rated public and private schools, and an eclectic dining and boutique shopping corridor that has earned it a reputation as an epicurean destination in its own right.
