• Near the Montclair Transcenter. Homes and apartments near the Metrolink station draw commuters headed into Los Angeles.
• Montclair Place and the I-10 corridor. Apartments and condos near the mall and its redevelopment area suit renters who want shopping and freeway access.
• North Montclair. Mid-century single-family homes north of the 10 attract families looking for yards near good access to Upland and Claremont.
