I have been living in Upper Montclair, New Jersey since I was born, which is eighteen years. My town is very family friendly with multiple parks where children can play and adults can walk or bike around. There are hundreds of restaurants and local grocery stores where people can buy their food or sit down with friends. Every single person, whether it is your neighbor or someone walking down the street, is very kind and sociable. We are an extremely diverse community with different ethnicities and filled with people from around the world. Upper Montclair is very eco-friendly as we reduce the amount of waste by reusing and recycling items and people contribute to the environment by planting trees and tending to their gardens. I always feel a sense of protection when walking down a street which is provided by our local police department. I genuinely enjoy living in Upper Montclair as I have made many friends in this beautiful town!
Upper Montclair is very culturally diverse with wonderful people, determined teachers passionate about teaching their students, a variety of excellent restaurants and cafes, and much more. It's a very artsy part of Essex County, and it certainly helps that it's not much more than 1/2 an hour away from the city. If you're looking for somewhere bright and intriguing where you're completely accepted no matter what you look like or who you identify as, Upper Montclair is the place for you!
Montclair is a beautiful town -- the houses are gorgeous, the yards are well kept. The downtown area is adorable, with little shops all along the sidewalk to browse in: everything from baby clothes to vegan meals, tea and coffee shops, restaurants, hardware stores, and supermarkets. They host the Montclair Film Festival every year, which is a blast, and in the same venue (Bellevue Bow Tie Cinemas) they have a twice-monthly shadowcast show of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This town has a wonderful balance of something for everyone!
