about this

Neighborhood

Set among the pine trees in the upper Oakland hills, Montclair is a small, welcoming community known for its relaxed atmosphere, often compared to Mill Valley. Tree-lined streets and established gardens lead to sizable custom homes set on forested lots, many with bay views, creating an elegant retreat from the city. Homes extend through the canyons and reflect the area’s natural setting, with architectural styles ranging from Mediterranean and Craftsman to contemporary, ranch, and mid-century split-level designs. Lot sizes can reach acres, offering space and privacy, while the neighborhood is close to East Bay parks, providing miles of hiking and biking trails for an active lifestyle.

At the heart of the community is Montclair Village, a charming central shopping district that recalls a simpler time before large commercial centers. Residents enjoy nearby everyday services, specialty shops, and popular dining spots including the Montclair Egg Shop, Daughter Thai, Kakui, and Crogan’s Montclair Restaurant. Gourmet treats can be found at Le Bonbon and Farmstead Wine and Cheese, while a weekly Sunday farmers' market offers fresh local produce and baked goods. 

Montclair is also known for highly ranked public and private schools, adding to its appeal for families. Montclair's storybook library was original 900 square foot and built in 1930 about half a mile from the just emerging Montclair Village. To meet the rising demand for children's services, two additions have since transformed Montclair Library into a busy 3,900 square foot branch serving a well-established, bustling community. The neighborhood hosts year-round arts events, seasonal street fairs, and a lively jazz festival in late summer. Additional nearby amenities include Lake Temescal Park, the Chabot Space and Science Center, tennis courts, and neighborhood parks.
