MONTCLAIR, NEW JERSEY
Start with the home you need, then look closely at the block around it. A condo by Bay Street, a detached home near Watchung Avenue and an older property in a local historic district raise different questions. The right Montclair search pairs the property with its actual monthly costs, travel route and paperwork.
Montclair has more than one shopping area or station, and the name Upper Montclair does not mark a separate municipality. It also does not put every nearby home inside the Upper Montclair Business Historic District. Compare a specific address with the township map rather than treating a familiar neighborhood name as a legal boundary. The same care matters when a listing names a school: Montclair’s magnet choices and registration process need district confirmation, not an assumption based on the nearest building.
Use the local listings below to compare real choices, including condos and ordinary detached homes as well as higher priced properties. Then use this guide to plan a station visit, review a tax bill, and decide which records to request before an offer. Selling instead? Start with the resale steps and the cash offer comparison, without assuming that a quick offer means a guaranteed closing date.
This live search includes the feed’s Montclair and Montclair Twp. City labels, Active status and For Sale. It covers residential choices, not rentals, commercial property or land. The feed may show the same home through two MLS records; count homes by address and unit, not by cards alone.

On October 21, 2026, GT’s public IDX showed 15 Garden Street at $715,000, with two bedrooms and three total baths, and 20 Braemore Road at $999,000, with four bedrooms and three total baths. The same search included both lower priced condos and detached homes above $2 million. These are dated asking examples, not closed prices or a promise that a listing remains available.
For a separate sold-market reference, Resideline’s October 3, 2026 report described 256 closings it tracked over the preceding six months, with a $1,212,500 median and the middle half between $720,000 and $1,750,000. That is the publisher’s tracked sample, not GT’s MLS audit or a complete municipal census of sales. It cannot price a particular condo, two family property or house.
Before choosing an offer or list price, compare recent closed homes of the same property type, size and condition. Keep asking prices, closed prices and older housing estimates separate. A wide town price range is a reason to narrow the comparison, not to assume every home belongs at the town median.
Compare a downtown condo’s unit entrance, parking right and shared space with the price. At 30 The Crescent, the checked listing described a private entrance and deeded parking; those statements apply to that unit and need document review, not to every home near the Crescent.
The township identifies the Pine Street Historic District as including detached and multi family buildings as well as small commercial properties. Nearby 50 Pine Street was marketed as a Montclair Mews condo. Verify the exact parcel’s historic status and ownership documents rather than assuming a street name settles either question.
The township describes a historic business district developed around Watchung Avenue Railroad Station. Visit the actual route from a candidate home to the station and shops. Check crossings, sidewalk conditions and the trip you will make, rather than relying on a general claim that an address is close to transit.
The Upper Montclair Business Historic District and Anderson Park offer useful reference points for a home search. They are not interchangeable with every listing labeled Upper Montclair. Check the location, parcel boundary and proposed renovation separately.
See the township’s named local historic districts. The township says certain changes to identified properties require a Certificate of Appropriateness. Ask the Historic Preservation Commission about the actual property and work before assuming a window, porch or exterior project is routine.
Montclair’s condo search can return very different arrangements. The October 21 listing for 30 The Crescent C0007 showed a $287,500 asking price and $183 monthly association fee. The listing for Dorchester House, 415 Claremont Avenue 1G, showed $399,900 and $1,126 monthly. Those are listing supplied figures for those units, not verified association budgets or building wide fee schedules.
The Dorchester listing described heat, water and sewer as included, plus an elevator and garage parking. The Crescent listing described shared laundry, storage and deeded parking. Compare the declaration, budget, insurance, reserve information, meeting minutes and pending assessments before deciding which fee is better value. A townhouse layout can still have condominium ownership; the feed’s property label is not a title opinion.
Ask who maintains the roof, windows, entrance steps and shared drainage. Confirm the unit’s parking right, pet rules and rental limits in writing. A missing tax or fee field means unknown, not zero.
A detached home’s renovation history can matter as much as its bedroom count. Ask for permit and closure records, the survey, utility information and disclosure documents. For an older home, examine the actual systems and project records; an attractive porch or an updated kitchen does not establish the condition of the roof, drainage or wiring.
For a two family or other multi family purchase, confirm the legal unit count and approved use with the township. Review leases, security deposits, actual operating costs and any landlord obligations with the right professionals. Do not turn a listing’s bedroom total or advertised income into verified legal occupancy or net income.

Want a pool, a single level layout, land or new construction? Keep the feature request separate from its proof. A pool tag does not show permits or current condition. A single story filter does not establish a step free entrance. A construction label does not prove completion or occupancy approval. GT can help identify candidates and the exact documents to request without creating a separate page for an empty or weakly supported category.
New Jersey DCA’s 2025 Municipal Tax Summary lists Montclair Township’s average total residential property taxes, before credits and deductions, at about $22,487. This is a historical township average, not a 2026 bill or the tax for the home you are considering.
Request the property’s current bill and assessment, then ask the assessor or tax office about pending changes and any credits that may not carry over. Do not multiply a purchase price by a town rate to promise a buyer’s bill. For condos, compare taxes and association fees separately unless the actual documents establish a different arrangement.

NJ TRANSIT identifies Watchung Avenue on the Montclair Boonton Line. Compare that station with the route that works for a specific home, including Bay Street when relevant. Check the current trip planner, departure board, parking operator and the return trip before deciding that an address fits your schedule.
A service notice checked on October 21, 2026 said Midtown Direct service on this line was being diverted to Hoboken. That was a dated operating notice, not a permanent route description. It is also why a guide should not promise an unconditional one seat ride or fixed travel time. Recheck current station departures and alerts for your actual travel day.
Montclair’s district describes magnet themes and an application process. That is not a promise that buying near a particular elementary or middle school secures a place there. Ask the district how current placement, capacity and registration rules apply to the student’s grade and timing.
The district’s registration guidance starts online and describes a followup phone appointment, with residency, birth and medical documents. Use the official registration guidance and magnet FAQ, then confirm current requirements directly. Listing school fields are not enrollment approval, and school choice should not be reduced to a ranking.
Essex County describes Anderson Park in Upper Montclair with paved paths and an open meadow. Nearby Brookdale Park offers trails and sports facilities; its county contact address is in Bloomfield. Check the actual route and access rules rather than assuming either park is a short walk from every listing.
At the property, investigate drainage and water history as well as outdoor space. The township’s floodplain guidance points to waterway related hazards and current FEMA mapping. Ask for an address specific review and insurance quote when appropriate. Being away from a named brook is not proof that a house has no flood risk.

Read the township’s fire inspection guidance, and confirm which requirements apply to your property’s use and transaction.
GT can discuss cash offer options alongside a market listing. Ask for the actual buyer, written price, fees, inspection terms, proof of funds and proposed closing date. Offer speed and closing speed are different. Property condition, title issues, tenants and other terms can affect the result; there is no blanket promise here of no repairs, no costs or a guaranteed closing.
Ask GT about selling your Montclair home Or call (973) 577-9442. Tell us about the property, your timing and what you want to compare. A conversation can come before a decision.
A GT agent reviews your home against recent nearby sales and sends you a value range. It is not an appraisal or a final asking price. Compare the actual home, current condition and relevant closed sales before making a decision. Condo fees, approved use, rental records and major work can require a closer review than an address alone can provide.

No. Use Montclair Township records for the actual property. A neighborhood label, a postal label and a local historic district are different things and should not be treated as the same boundary.
No. Compare taxes, association fees, financing, insurance and utilities, plus any assessments. Review what the fee includes and what you would still maintain yourself.
Use it as a starting point, not a guarantee. Confirm school placement with the district and check the operator’s actual trip and service alerts for your schedule.
Not automatically. Compare the likely benefit, cost and delay of a proposed repair with the condition and terms of real offers. Historic approvals, open permits and the buyer’s requirements may affect the choice.
No. Read the written conditions and timeline, including title, inspections, financing evidence and any tenant or estate issues. Compare the proposed net proceeds and closing risk with a market listing.
