Upper Mountain, located between Upper Mountain Avenue and the Presby Memorial Iris Gardens, is a residential and hillside Upper Montclair neighborhood with leafy streets and long views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Upper Mountain Avenue corridor near Valley Road, where small storefronts and café windows meet a steady rhythm of walkers and cyclists. Architectural cues lean Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival, with stone walls and deep setbacks that track the slope. Presby Memorial Iris Gardens sets a seasonal backdrop of curated paths and color. Mills Reservation’s wooded trails and overlooks shape the outdoor routine. A quick drive down to Upper Montclair’s village core connects the area to Montclair Film at The Clairidge and the Montclair Art Museum.
