    "Love my neighbors. Culdesac street feels very private. Only a one mile walk to Montclair Village. Close to freeways. Only 15 minute drive to SF in off-peak traffic. Beautiful views of tree filled vistas."

    "Montclair is its own style of neighborhood. I live in what seems like the middle of a forest with tons of wildlife coming in and out of my backyard. I recommend the park and village. It's nice to have a cup of coffee in the mornings and stroll around the Sunday farmers' market."

    "Montclair is a beautiful neighborhood. It is very family oriented, but I would say that it lacks in both ethnic and class diversity. It does seem to cater to a specific type of family, which may not be something you want your children grow up with."
