Well, beauty is obviously in the eye of the beholder, so what one may think of as beautiful someone else may think is garish. For me:
- Upper Montclair & Ridgewood (west/north of downtown) for gorgeous, well preserved older housing stock
- Spring Lake & Sea Girt for what my house would look like if I could afford to live there
- Hudson & Bloomfield streets in Hoboken for postcard-perfect brownstones on tree-lined streets
I'm just not into most of the 5K+ square castles behind an iron gate that you find further out, which is purely a personal preference. Although someone mentioned Englewood Cliffs which I did find to be quite nice, and from what I have heard I would also probably like Rumson, but have not been there before.
Hmm. So you want to see beautiful houses in NJ, eh? Just bear in mind that most of the people with the beautiful houses also have beautiful alarm systems.

Call me cynical.
But, I suggest driving Navesink River Road.
There is a French Proventil for sale along there I hear.(j/k)

LOL, I never thought of someone using the C-D forums as a suggestion of where to look for places to rob. Anyway, you don't want the beautiful houses for that. You want the big old but worn ones, where the garage is so full of stuff they don't know what's in it and can't close it. You go in, dig through until you find an old motorcycle or two, and cart it away. By the time they realize it's gone they'll be moving to a retirement home.
Never thought of Englewood Cliffs as particularly nice, mostly oversized new builds on undersized lots (or pre-teardown ranches). Englewood itself has a lot of beautiful old houses on the east hill.

It's actually sort of neat to look at google maps satellite image. You can totally see the different zoning between EC vs Tenafly/Englewood/Alpine. You can basically put a house on 1/2 acre in EC that they wouldn't allow on an acre in Tenafly or Englewood.

I'm with you. Ridgewood has some beautiful older homes built back when style mattered. Big boxes, or worse yet, big garages with houses sort of attached as an afterthought, look tawdry.
