There are condos near the train station in Upper Montclair. A large two-bedroom (with two bathrooms and a balcony) would go for about $315,000. Taxes are a bit high; currently, they are $2.387 per $100 of assessed value.

The one problem with the trains is that they do not stop at the Upper Montclair station on the weekends. But there is a DeCamp bus that stops right by the train station and goes to Port Authority seven days a week.

Upper Montclair has a lovely town center, with nice restaurants, many stores (including The Gap, Williams Sonoma, CVS, two supermarkets), a bank, and a movie theater.

I know the area well because my mom lived there before she passed away. She loved living there, because everything she needed was within walking distance. Any questions, feel free to PM me!
