Looking for quaint, small town in P.A. that is close to Washington twp., N.J., Warren county
Hi,
I may be taking a job in Washington Twp., NJ, Warren county and I want to find a quaint little town in Pennsylvania to live in. I'm looking to travel about 1/2 to work. Are there any upscale, little to mid size towns in that part of Pennsylvania?
thanks to anyone who can help!  |

The lack of response is telling. There simply aren't any upscale, quaint little towns in Pennsylvania that are with a half hour's drive from Washington Township, Warren County, New Jersey.
Why Pennsylvania? There are a number of nice towns in New Jersey within half an hour of Washington Township. Upscale? The big money (and big dollars) is in Chester (Morris County).
I like both Belvidere and Hackettstown in Warren County, but I wouldn't consider either "upscale" ... though both are very nice with lovely manor sections, nice "downtowns," and parks.
You may find more in Hunterdon County.

the only town i can think of within a 1/2 hr is easton (not sure I'd call it quaint either). anything further into PA is going to be longer. |

Washington Borough is kind of quaint...not upscale, but quaint. Hackettstown is quaint and a little more upscaled than Washington Borough is. Belvidere is cute... They even have their own Klan : )) Not sure why you want to live in PA? Unless you think it may be cheaper? |

If you are defining 'upscale' loosely, check Palmer Twp, PA on the other side of Easton. There is a development that runs to about $1 million. It doesn't compare to NJ but if you must be in PA and in that area, that's a good location.
