We left Montclair for Somerville because for the same monthly rental fee we could get a much bigger, better, safer, apartment vs. what we had in Montclair. We loved living in Montclair while my husband commuted to NYC but honestly if you’re not commuting to the city or nearby, you can get so much more for your money elsewhere.

Moved out of said apartment complex last year after living there for 3 years and we miss Somerville every dang day. Would LOVE to one day move back to Somerville. We moved there from Montclair and Montclair felt more urban and had an even bigger downtown but we never missed it living it Somerville.
