Why Choose Mountainside

Mountainside is a great option if you’re looking for a small town with easy access to NYC. A hidden gem, it is a small picturesque community set on the side of the Watchung Mountain.

The town is filled with mature trees and quiet winding roads and its high ranking school district is the cherry on top. This is truly a great place to raise a family!
