Today's puzzle
Mountainside doesn't try to be Summit. It doesn't try to be Westfield. It's quieter, smaller, and almost deliberately low-key — and for the people who live here, that's exactly the point.
Read the full guide →The borough has around 6,700 residents, making it one of the smallest municipalities in Union County. There's no downtown strip with a dozen restaurants, no train station within walking distance for most residents. What Mountainside has instead is space — real space — backed up against the Watchung Reservation, with wooded lots, winding roads, and houses that sit far enough back from the street that you can actually breathe.
