I'm surprised Asbury Park didn't make that list.

[jstar41]

did you guys notice that all the towns listed are the ones where you can still find some affordable housing.. if you were to make a list of the nicest areas to live in, probably most of the people in the thread would not be able to afford living in those areas.. lol

btw add Harrison to the list.. lol
