The top 7 towns in NJ and why people love them

Every year various national news sources rate the best towns in the country to live in. Invariably, a Jersey town or two will make the list. We recently decided that if we were to put together our own list of great New Jersey towns, our listeners would definitely have something to say about it. So we posed this question: if you had to sell your town to us, how would you? What would be the characteristics that make it the best town in New Jersey? We got a lot of answers, but these seven towns’ listeners sold them best!!
