Montvale Visiting & Lodging
Montvale is more of a regional business, dining and community destination than a traditional tourist town. Visitors come for corporate and medical appointments, shopping, restaurants, school and sports events, local recreation and connections to Bergen and Rockland counties.
Things to see & do
A modern retail and dining district with restaurants, grocery, fitness, apparel, home stores and services.
Lighted athletic fields and tennis courts used by local sports and open to the public year-round under current borough policy.
Pascack Valley Line station providing an easy car-free link for some visitors.
Montvale supports a strong restaurant market ranging from longstanding pubs and Italian dining to newer North Market concepts.
Park Ridge, Woodcliff Lake, River Vale and the New York state line are all close, making Montvale a useful regional base.
