"Montclair is a great town with both city vibes and suburban neighborhoods. You don’t have to leave the town to eat or shop or find something to do. The only down side is it can be on the expensive side and sometimes parking is an issue. "

"13 min walk to Bay Street train station. Buses are unreliable. Buses are also gross. I wish there were more options for public transit, but it’s very limited. It’s not the worst though."

"Most homes here have at least one dog and most owners and dogs are quite friendly. Technically it is not allowed to let your dog run off leash, but there are a handful of folks who do and they sometimes meet up in the park so the dogs can play together. There are excellent walkers and daycare when you need to travel or work it’s a great place to have a dog or five!"
