A great and largely inexpensive place to live for New Jerseyans seeking a quick and painless commute into New York City. Borders on Montclair and Glen Ridge. Has 2 stops on the Montclair-Boonton line for NJ Transit and is also served by the DeCamp Bus Line.
Bloomfield, NJ is a wonderful place to live. Highly cultural, short commute to NYC and low taxes!

Lambertville, NJ is one of the most desirable places to live in NJ. It's on the Deleware River. It's touristy and filled with antique shops, coffee shops, restaurants, and art gallery's hosting artist that believe they are amazing. Many musicians in the area also believe their mediocre talent is a gift to the earth. These 'artists' are considerd local celebrities, but honestly it's not hard to NOT be "famous" in a town of 4000 residents. Especially when you post your name on every-other street corner.
25 years ago Lville was a fairly poor lower class town that has been completely gentrified by rich yuppies who seek landscaped safe streets to walk their pure bred dogs on, and a small school district in which "lil Tommy" can succeed. Some of the whitest and smallest public schools in NJ are in Lambertville. But even if these schools aren't good enough for the snobbiest locals, it isn't far to several private schools with Princeton NJ and Solebury, PA in close distance.
Popular for being across the river from New Hope, PA ( a louder drunker version on Lambertville, NJ), and for the Lambertville High school (abandon school that has burnt down twice, and the towns historical society still refuses to bulldoze) and also for Shadfest (held in april yearly), a festival created to draw tourism and celebrate the swimming of the Shad up the river. Bringing delight to the fisherman who gets to catch the fish, and discust to those who have to eat the oily bottom-feeder.
I love Lambertville, NJ. Too bad no one warned me that when eating Shad, at The Shadfest I'd need a bottle of Listerine to get the taste out of my mouth.

Brick Township is a township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. It goes by the nickname of "B-Town" by the young locals. It has earned the title of America's Safest City in 2006-2007. It is a very expensive place to reside, due to the ocean-front location, the many schools, and overall beauty of the town. There are many rivers, lakes, and ponds throughout the town. The local teenagers from Brick are very well known in Ocean and Monmouth County for their excessive partying and drinking. The people are 99.2% White, .3% Black, .3% Asian, and .2% Hispanic. The high school sport teams are incredible in this town- winning countless championships in all sports, especially: wrestling, football, soccer, hockey, and basketball. Notable residents include Hank Borowy (MLB All-Star pitcher for the NY Yankees), Jim Dowd (NHL Player), and actress Kirsten Dunst. It is definitely a privilege and blessing to live in such a paradise as Brick, NJ.
I'm from Pt. Pleasant, New Jersey, but all my friends and I go to Brick, NJ to chill on Friday nights because it's such an awesome town and the kids really know how to party. They're all so freaking crazy and hilarious- not to mention the insanely hot girls. The town's got everything from the movies, to ice skating, to bowling, to malls, to late-night ice cream places, to the beach, and sick parties, of course. It's everything you could ever want in a good time.

A close to perfect far out suburb of New York City. Has some historical charm including a bridge with waterfall under it and a river running right through it's very lovely downtown. Clinton is the name for both the town and township that surrounds it. Clinton also generally includes neighboring Union, Franklin and Bethlehem townships as well. It's 85% white as Mexicans working in restaurants and landscapers pop out babies at alarming rates and Asians hopefull to be honorary white's continue settling in.
Very nice little town tough and the people are somewhat friendly. I guess it would be ideal if you don't mind having to driving 35 minutes just to get to the mall. It's set amongst rolling hills and has good schools. If you have family coming in from let's say; Wisconsin and you live in New York City, when they start freaking out, take them to Clinton for god's sake.
Family member from Indiana: New York City is so crowded and diverse, I'm starting to hyperventilate.
Family Member from New York City: Hey honey grab the Audi keys, we're going to Clinton, NJ before cousin Amy start's fistulating.

A great place where you can find racists and black people all living in the same low income housings! Half of the town in woods, a quarter is shopping places, and the other quarter is just housing developments, both low income and fucking rich ass houses! Everyone and their mother knows of great adventure, and speaking of mother and child, yβall smoke weed together! Itβs home of drug addict teenagers and lowlife hick adults! Turn the corner and youβll see a Jewish man and an antisemitic literally living right next to each other! What a great diverse place!
Hick: Iβm moving to Jackson, NJ itβs an all American town!
Minorities: Weβll see about that...

A town in Bergen County, New Jersey neighboring towns such as Palisades Park and Cliffside Park. The population of the town comprises mostly of typical suburban families as well as senior citizens wishing to live in a quiet environment. However the real bullshit starts when you meet the youth of the town. Unless you enjoy extremely arrogant kids who talk shit and think they are urban thugs, you best stay out of Ridgefield. Sure, they'd probably shit their pants and cry the minute they step into an actual urban environment such as Camden or Newark, but that doesn't stop them from bragging about how tough they are and how much better they are than you.
Ethnicity-wise, Ridgefield is full of stereotypical white kids and Koreans. If you're Latino, Indian, Black etc., don't be surprised to be stared down by every other person. If that doesn't sound pleasing enough wait till you meet the cops who are so overly cautious that they make you feel uncomfortable.
Entertainment-wise, Ridgefield is as competent as a deaf DJ. Unless sitting on your ass all day excites you, you won't have much fun in this town. Your best option is to head to the nearby town of Edgewater, where you might actually have a good time
Bottomline, the town is boring. Similar to Secaucus, there may be a cool kid here and there but most of them are annoying little shits.
Three friends are talking.
Union City Kid: "What's Ridgefield? My parent's said I'm moving there."
Hoboken Kid: "It's a town close by. You've never heard of Ridgefield NJ?"
Union City Kid: "No, what's it like?"
Jersey City Kid: "I was almost arrested for sneezing."
Hoboken Kid: "I was called out by a white kid whose balls haven't even dropped yet."
Union City Kid: βKill me."
