    "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!"

    "I drive everywhere but the trains and buses are so easy to access in my neighborhood. Public transportation is so popular among my neighbors. Most of them use it to get to work every morning. The only down side is the trains don’t run on the weekends. "

    "Upper Montclair is an idea city for those who are looking for one of the best school system, and within 30-40 minutes commute to Manhattan. It is very accessible, very safe, and has lots of community involvement and affairs. School system is amazing. The Mid-Town Direct train stop is within walking distance. Tuers Park is one house up the street, great for sports, jogging and walking. "
