Both of those are very nice towns. I'm not sure if they really fit in any of the categories though.

Honestly if I had that kind of money, no town in NJ would be on my list of places to live. If I was a multi-millionare I'd be in a warmer climate, somewhere out on the west coast.

New Jersey will lose to states on the west coast with climate and cost of living. However, education wise, crime wise, looking at factors such as culture and food, New Jersey will beat any western state with the possible exception of Nevada because of Las Vegas. The east coast may be older (except certain parts of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida) but in my view it is far superior to the west coast OVERALL.

Retirees and those on a budget should look into central NJ, but it just isn't northern New Jersey. If your going to live in Philadelphia, live in Bucks County because Cherry Hill is next to Camden and PA is cheaper. The NJ shore is great for a day trip, but there are limited towns there to live in. North Jersey has its rough sections along the NJ Turnpike, but west of the turnpike and east of Sussex County is great; within 50-55 minutes of the city and georgous suburbs.
