I feel the same way. Where exactly do people cross the line between north and south NJ? I am in Ocean county on the border of Monmouth and I do consider it South Jersey because of its proximity to the shore but doesn't that leave most of the state in the "South Jersey" category? I really don't think of the southwest areas as "South Jersey" either but then what are they?
Maybe it should be Northern NJ, Central NJ, The Jersey Shore and then South Jersey.
The dividing line is roughly around Trenton in my view.
South Jersey is a waste. There is nothing there, its boring, and there is no culture or good food around. South of Cherry Hill on the western side and Point Pleasant on the beach is a waste...
If south jersey is so Boring, why they hell are you clowns up north paying 10k a week for beach houses in South Jersey in the summer?

So where you live and work is so boring, you pay 10K a week for a beach house in South Jersey.
It's the shore, not the beach. Come on now, you guys are from Jersey aren't you?
As for the maps posted, I don't consider Ocean County to be South Jersey, although some people do (like GoYanks). Mercer County is definitely not South Jersey, although it sometimes gets lumped in with it because it falls under the influence of Philadelphia (well, Princeton is definitely more NY-centric) and its regional planning is through the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, not the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority.
North Jersey One reason it's the best - nice downtowns, easy rail access. One reason it sucks - Urban Decay galore. . . and it's spread out. Hudson, Essex, Bergn, Passaic & Union all have apt examples. Sure Camden's bad, but you can add enough of them up and trump Camden.
Yeah. Sometimes the snow-melting coils underneath the driveways leading up to the three-car garages of those $5 million houses in Upper Saddle River go on the fritz.
It was so much simpler when there were only two area codes--North was 201, and South was 609!
