I have been living in Upper Montclair for over 15 years. There is basically nothing negative to say about this place. Neighbors have become dear friends, everyone is friendly and it is very safe. Super family-friendly with a diverse range of restaurants and shops. Lots of parks and open space. It's a wonderful community with smart and compassionate people. I love it here!
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!
Great town with beautiful homes, multiple downtowns, art museum, beautiful parks and a great school system that doesn’t just teach children how to do well on test. Very family friendly and progressive. Comes at a price though as housing stock and taxes are both high, but you’ll find your bargains if you know where to look. Not sure how Niche reviews areas, but Upper Montclair is an area within the town of Montclair. They’re not 2 separate towns so not sure why there are two separate ratings. Entire town, from South End to Upper Montclair is terrific.
