There are many, many towns in New Jersey, most of them extremely nice and safe. It's probably easier to list the handful of cities you should stay away from than doing it vice versa. I would say:
1. Irvington
2. Newark
3. Orange
4. Elizabeth
5. Paterson
6. East Orange
7. Passaic
Thanks. What's your opinion on these places in Bergen County...? Ridgewood, Bergenfield, Hillsdale, Emerson, Waldwick, and Midland Park. Although we don't have kids, we're looking for a decent, family-friendly community.

In the order you posted: Great, OK, Near-Great, Very Good, Very Good, and Very Good. Except for Bergenfield, these are some expensive towns, but they're very nice.

And keep in mind that even those cities have a few decent pockets sprinkled here and there.

What's wrong with Bergenfield? The schools aren't quite as great as some of the surrounding communities, and the area around the Armory is a little run-down, but, it certainly meets any reasonable standards of safe, 'nice,' 'decent,' and family-friendly.

Not really.
