What are people in Princeton like? (homes, taxes, living in)

I know this is a very general question and everyone in a town is not the same, but could anyone give me an idea of the "vibe" in Princeton Boro/Township? The townies not the students.

I'd describe the vibe as wealthy, crunchy, low key , generally well travelled locals and friendly, at least in my experience as a frequent visitor. The taxes are very high (I know, duh) but no one seems to complain, unlike other places in NJ. There are fun places to eat in the boro and it's a very walkable downtown with a pedestrian mall. The only thing I've heard locals complain bitterly about is the lack of parking at the local train station.

I loved living in Princeton. Lovely town, nice stores, nice homes, nice people.

Educated, cultured, interesting, well spoken and well read. Old money, not nouve riche like other surrounding areas.
