These New Jersey towns are considered among the most welcoming in the U.S.
We like to talk a big game in New Jersey about our attitudes, but we’re not always as gruff as we’re portrayed in the media.
A recent study put out by Electricity Prices highlighted which towns across America are considered the most welcoming to newcomers, and New Jersey was well represented.
Electricity Prices ran a survey of 3,700 travelers to get their results in order to our nation's unsung heroes.
These towns exemplify the best of American hospitality," says an ElectricityPrices.com spokesperson. "They are places where newcomers are not just welcomed, but embraced as part of the community. It's this spirit of inclusion and warmth that truly makes these towns special.
The Garden State ended up having three of the nation’s 150 most welcoming locations for newbies.
