We pulled together this rundown to make that easier. Once a neighborhood catches your eye, the crews at Teddy Bear Moving, a family-run outfit headquartered in Fairfield, can carry your household there with none of the usual headache.
Getting to know Montville Township
Montville is a well-liked bedroom community for people who commute into New York City, and roughly 21,000 residents call it home. Over the years it has landed on more than one shortlist of the top spots to settle in the Garden State, and that solid reputation is well earned. We want to walk you through what makes the place tick. By the time you reach the end, you may find yourself picturing your own furniture in one of its living rooms.
What life here actually looks like
There is plenty to appreciate about this township. If your ideal is a calm, appealing suburb where owning a home stays within reach, Montville checks those boxes. That said, no town is flawless, so it is smart to weigh both the high points and the drawbacks before you dive into a house hunt. Only then can you say for certain whether this is the right landing spot.
Reasons to put down roots here
- The local public schools earn strong marks, which is a big part of why so many households with children choose the area.
- Streets stay quiet and secure, and the neighborhoods carry a reassuring sense of safety.
- Once the boxes are unpacked, you will find no shortage of dining spots, green space, coffee bars, and ways to spend time outside.
- A large share of the population owns rather than rents, and those homes tend to sit at prices that stay reasonable.
A few trade-offs worth noting
- The cost of living runs a touch steeper than in some of the neighboring towns within easy reach of the city.
- The community leans traditional in outlook, which will not click with everyone.
- Anyone hoping to launch a brand-new venture may find it a tougher spot to get a business off the ground.
