Hi damien!
Verona and west Orange are both lovely towns. However, they're not exactly Montclair. I fyou're looking for a town similar to Montclair - bustling, hip downtown with restaurants, movies and shops, easy commute to Manhattan via Midtown Direct train, then you might want to look into South Orange. Very similar to Montclair in architecture and community. There are a number of new (and slightly older) townhouses and condos. If you are interested in exploring this option , please feel free to call or email me.

HI Damien!
Verona and West Orange are lovely towns, but not really comparable to Montclair. If you are looking for a town like Montclair - sophisticated, hip, great downtown with movies, restaurants, boutiques, a great commute to the city via Midtown direct train - then you might want to consider South Orange or even Maplewood. Very similar in feel and lifestyle, but a bit less pricey and the taxes are cheaper. I do have a 2 bedroom 2 bath condo a block from train/downtown on the market now for $349,000. Email me and I'llbe happy to show it to you.

Outside of the immediate Hudson County towns (Hoboken, Jersy City) South Orange is undergoing a major downtown redevelopment. There's a new Performing Arts Center, Eden Gourmet Market and several new condo projects - some already completed and others under construction. The commute to Manhattan is 26 minute via Midtown direct train. Great community! Fabulous architecture! if you'd like further info please contact me.
