Diversity destroys schools and neighborhoods. You won't find much diversity in the neighborhoods occupied by Clintons, Kennedys or Bidens.

Diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era
High paying local jobs is not what I think of around Montgomery and several other towns on that list either. There may be some in the vicinity but not a lot.
Both are near Princeton but T and family had to settle for Montgomery when they couldn't find a place in their preferred Plainsboro
Including places that don’t exist…WTF is Upper Montclair
I was told in college it was officially known as “Happening Upper Montclair”
@RUInsanity @CranfordKnight
Upper Montclair doesn’t exist ? It’s a CDP and a place in the municipality of Montclair. You know this
Absolutely doesn’t exist, the town is Montclair period end.
It’s a zip code for mail north of Watching Ave.
What’s a CDP?
Census designated place. The list is not the “best towns”. It is the best “places” to live . It clearly states that it’s “places “
Fair enough, just informing you as a 60 year resident of Montclair we don’t recognize it or see it as a different place.
On another note , anyone live in one municipality, but have a mailing address in another municipality?
Had a friend that lived in Sayreville , but she had a south Amboy mailing address. She said it was a pain in the ***.

Plum,
Just for the sake of our little discussion, the mansions and estates with enormous properties people drive from near and far to gawk at and see the NY skyline, are all located South of Watching Ave in the 07042 zip code of Montclair.
Grew up in Hunterdon county, where that was common. Moved to Lebanon Township (not the nearby town with the same name) but had a Califon mailing address. Other kids across the township had Glen Gardner mailing addresses. May have been others.
Not surprised by that out there . The land of septics and well water
Does it cause any issues ? My friend said her situation was a pain with deliveries , car insurance etc.
I wonder if someone actually bought a house in one municipality when thinking they were buying in another. I am sure that has happened
There is a lot of that going on around Princeton. Montgomery, west windsor, Franklin park, plainsboro, Lawrence all have sections that have princeton mailing addresses.
When they first moved in they announced the NP address so that's what we put on Xmas cards. A couple of years in, we got one sent back to me. That's when he suggested we use Summit. So I'm sure it creates issues.
This is the weakness with all such rankings Americans: best for who exactly? People can have very different priorities. Great schools mostly only matters to parents; great social life mostly only matters to single people.
Doesn’t this issue only come up when your property boundaries are sitting in both towns?
I don’t think so . My friend didn’t border south Amboy and lived in Sayreville .
Also, if you’re familiar with Menlo Park mall. There is a section behind the Edison target there that has metuchen addresses and it’s nowhere near metuchen.
Whenever I am unsure what municipality I am in, I just start doing something illegal and wait and see which town cops show up to arrest me
The extravagance of building a rooftop football field is not one of the criteria.
Or as the sign you saw on the loop into the Lincoln Tunnel was revised in the late 60s: Onion City
Wait does @T2Kplus20 have a Princeton mailing address? Lower Somerset County has become very strange...thankful for the mountain ridge buffers, Raritan River line...and B.B./Manville wedged in there too. lol
Yes. Live in Hamilton, but our zip code comes up "Trenton". We're about as far away from Trenton proper as you can get in Hamilton. To get to Trenton the city, we pass through several "Hamilton" zip codes that are much more gritty and urbanized than the farms and McMansions in Yardville's corner of "Trenton".
Ask him, or refer to CE Board. (P.S. I lived in Hillsb for ~10 yrs).

so your saying.
You wonder if someone bought a home in a city listed as one of the top places to live and were happy there , then found out that they really bought
a house in a bottom of barrel neighborhood ?
So what would happen to their happiness then , would they lose their happy place feeling??
