Which towns would you recommend for a strong community feel? Looking for a town with some spirit, X-Mas tree lighting, lots of trick or treaters, playgrounds actually have kids at them during the week, some other stay-at-home parents, etc. People walking around on the streets. Maybe a town pool or one nearby. Farmers Market, etc. Not a bunch of strip malls and highways. Commutable to NY. Thanks!

Same search. Sold on Glen Ridge almost instantly. Montclair is a close second.

Maplewood

To make you search easier, immediately cross out towns without sidewalks (which you could see in google maps).
