Working in Ridgefield Park, where should I live? (Hoboken, Ridgewood: to live in, restaurants)

[FBMD]

I have recently accepted a position in a company located in Ridgefield Park, NJ. I have lived in DC for 10 years and I like it a lot. I would like to relocate to a place that is not too far (maybe up to 30 minute drive) from work and not too far from NYC. I'd like some place that offers things to do, nice restaurants and maybe a few cultural activities. I have heard positive things about Westwood, Ridgewood, Weeawken, Hoboken and Morristown. What is your recommendation? What is Jersey city like?
Thank you all!

Your criteria appears to be very broad. Are you looking to live in a small suburban town or an urban area with lots of nightlife? There's no comparing Westwood and Ridgewood with Weehawken and Hoboken. The commute from Morristown to Ridgefield Park would be too much of a hassle, IMHO.

Thanks for you reply Kewlguy. I would rather be in an urban area
