Nearly 14 miles north of Montclair sits Pompton Plains, a quaint community that’s part of the Pequannock Township on the edge of the Norvin Green State Forest. Pompton Plains residents praise the neighborhood for its close-knit community values and family-friendly atmosphere. There’s a number of great schools and a low crime rate. Coupled with the surrounding outdoor destinations, Pompton Plains is great for anyone who enjoys a bit of peace and quiet.
There are multistory apartment complexes and charming home rentals close to community parks. All of the township has access to plenty of locally owned watering holes like pubs, delis, and more. Despite the state forests and parks to the west that are filled with miles of hiking trails, Pompton Plain is still convenient to the busier New Jersey locales to the east. Montclair and Hackensack can be reached in less than 30 minutes by car.
