In this episode, we dig into the cost of living in Montclair and ask, is it worth it? We start at the Farmers Market, where residents share how rising prices are changing their day-to-day lives. Then, we meet a renter who dreams of buying in town but feels priced out, and hear from Councilor-at-Large and Deputy Mayor Susan Shin Andersen on what the township is doing to address affordability.
In our Ask Your Agent series with Karin Diana of Compass, we uncover the hidden costs of homeownership. At the same time, our Montclair grocery showdown—Kings vs. ACME vs. Whole Foods—reveals a surprising winner. Plus, a rooftop visit to The Splendid at the MC Hotel, local election updates, and One Big Thing to end the week.
