Located above Montclair Village, a resident can meet just about any shopping need just a short distance away. While there are the ever practical Safeway and Lucky stores, other gourmet foods like cheeses, wines, chocolates and specialty coffee shops are available, as are many fitness and beauty sites. The neaby Highways 13 and 580 allow quick access north to Oakland, San Francisco and Berkeley, or east to Contra Costa County.
