Welcome.  I recently relocated to the area for a position in Gaithersburg.

I agree with Christie.  I own a multifamily unit north of Bloomfield Ave. but did consider property in the southern part of Montclair as well.  While there is a definite difference in pricing and demographics, Montclair is safe in general.  It will take a while for the area near Glenfield Park to increase in value but that really is the last remaining place in Montclair to get a "bargain" barring the purchase of a major rehab (which is what I bought, and there were still 16 other offers).  The walkability, great schools, proximity to transportation into NY, and access to amenities all make Montclair a great place to live.  

Hi Everyone,

I just recently sold my first property, a condo, and re-invested that profit into a 2-family unit in a NJ suburb.  I look forward to learning and sharing my experiences here.
