Neighborhood

Tucked away in the wooded hills and tree lined streets above Oakland, the Montclair District is a small community with an appealing central shopping district. Sizable custom homes, along with a mix of Mid-Century Modern, Mediterranean, Traditional and contemporary-style homes are situated on forested lots, offering an elegant retreat from the city.

The Montclair Business District is a throwback to a simpler time before strip malls, mega-malls, and big-box stores. Residents can find everything they need, from dry cleaning and groceries to restaurants. Local restaurant favorites include the Montclair Egg Shop, Daughters Thai Kitchen, Yellow Door Cafe, El Agavero, Kakui Sushi and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet specialty items are available at Farmstead Cheeses & Wines, Le Bonbon and EM Deli & Catering.

A farmers market on Sundays provides fresh local produce and baked goods. Montclair is home to fine-arts festivals, wine and food festivals, holiday gatherings and a music festival in the late summer that enlivens the street scene.
