What do we love most about Glen Ridge?
This jewel of North Jersey is known for its gaslamp-lined streets, grand historic homes, and tight-knit, highly engaged community. Just steps from Montclair’s vibrant restaurants, theaters, and festivals, Glen Ridge offers a quieter, more exclusive lifestyle with top-ranked schools and a quick NYC train commute.
Strolling past the daffodil house on Hillside, where spring blooms stop traffic.
Watching the morning parade of kids walking to school — Glen Ridge is one of the few towns where sidewalks still mean something.
Catching stand-up at the Wellmont Theater or a jazz set at Montclair Brewery…then retreating back to Glen Ridge’s leafy calm.
Hosting parties at the Glen Ridge Senior/Community Center (did you know you can rent it?).
Cheering for the Mounties on Friday nights at Woodman Field or relaxing in nearby Edgemont Memorial Park.
Glen Ridge may share amenities with Montclair, but it feels worlds apart: smaller, quieter, and architecturally stunning, with easy access to Walnut Street’s farmers market, Montclair Art Museum, and all the dining and shopping you could want.
