I would say Chester or even Hackettstown - both have that old time town feel to them. My other choice, but it's very small - would be Hope, NJ. Friday the 13th part one was filmed there. Nice old stone building - upgraded....paver crosswalks - it's a dorable! I just wish it was a little bigger..sneeze and you'll drive right by it.
OK I Think Chatham is the best for the north part of the state.
Colonia is the best part of the heart in the state.
For the ocean part of the state Little Egg Harbor.
These towns are friendly towns and all different and something special about them.
Moorestown is absolutely gorgeous (the Main St half of it at least), but you need to wake up and get that #1 ranking outta your head. That place is so conservative and there are too many McMansion neighborhoods. The funny part is much of your town is stuck up monetarily with their $300k something average house price, yet they have no idea what real wealth is (see Short Hills, Alpine, Greenwich, Marin, and Newport Beach).

The town that would blow the two of these away if it wasnt such a rathole is Burlington City. Clean that place up and you have real gem. Of course most South Jerseyans are too racist to actually take a trip there.
The most charming town in South Jersey is Cape May. Central Jersey...Princeton, Westfield, and the shore towns Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Bay Head, Belmar (when its quiet). North Jersey - Ridgewood, Morristown, Montclair.
Ah. So it is wrong now to be white in a white town.
Perhaps the governor should divide up the population of the state by race, perhaps further classifying by religion, and have a proclamation that all people in the state are only allowed to relocate to a town if it will serve to appropriately diversify a town.

Dont go to extremes, Im not saying charming should be Elizabeth or Jersey City. Im just saying these two towns are wealthy, homogenous WASPY type towns. I guess theyre charming in a fantasy world, but a bit far from reality in my opinion. I get bad vibes just because I do not have the Philadelphia/S. Jersey accent and there is this strong anti-NY/North Jersey vibe down there (The vice versa does not happen in North Jersey). Many (not all) people in the wealthier pockets of south jersey are extremely conservative closet racists (Trust me I know) and are mostly indifferent to people living in poverty only 10 mins away. If I want a homogenous town, I'll go back to the old neighborhood where there is still real charm left.
