Montclair

The city of Montclair in San Bernardino County might derive its name from the fact that the beautiful San Gabriel Mountain range is located to its north; but, the fact is, the city could have a name that celebrates it as a bridge or threshold between the Inland Empire and the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area.

With a population of almost 37,000 residents, the city sits between Pomona to the west, Ontario to the east and Claremont to the north while a major freeway, the 10 San Bernardino, passes through the city's northern section. This advantageous location is a mark of pride for the city's Chamber of Commerce, which points out that Montclair is conveniently within reach of many entertainment, dining, educational and professional destinations around the Los Angeles area.

According to a survey three years ago, the estimated median household income in Montclair was about $52,000 while the estimated home or condo value of about $254,000 fell below the state average  (the California average was $384,000).

Two school districts cater to the community's children: Ontario-Montclair School District (k-8) and Chaffey Joint Union High School District (9-12).

The city is also conveniently located close to many other private and public colleges and universities in surrounding cities; and a major source of commerce and business in the city is provided by the Montclair Plaza, a popular shopping spot that first opened its doors in 1968.
