The village is at a historical ford and present day bridge. Originally settled between the river and a bluff, the village has expanded northeastward up the bluff along Bridge Street (PA29). The lower part of Mont Clare is in the river flood plain. In 1995, Montgomery County designated the Mont Clare Cliffs and Ravines as a natural area "priority site." Extending upriver from Mont Clare along the Schuylkill, this series of "steep cliffs and deeply etched ravines" are formed by the intersection of hard Lockatong Formation argillites with the river. Mont Clare is primarily a residential community. The village has two churches: the Holy Archangel Michael Byzantine Catholic Church (locally known as St. Michael's) and the Otterbein United Methodist Church. Commercial concerns include Produce Junction, Eagle's Nest Deli & Market, a professional office building, and two local automobile repair shops. A ten minute walk across the bridge accesses downtown Phoenixville's restaurants, pubs, and theater. Mont Clare is the site of Lock 60 a fully restored and operating lock at the upstream end of the Oakes Reach of the Schuylkill Canal. The Lock, tow path, the restored lock tender's house, and surrounding area form a park maintained by the Schuylkill Canal Association (SCA). The park is at the center of the "Schuylkill Navigation Canal, Oakes Reach Section" Historic District. The park includes a floating dock in the canal and a launch area on the river. This compliments a portage trail, between the downstream end of the canal reach and the river. The river, portage, canal, and park form
