So now that we have established there are a lot of towns in America, what if you made a list of the Top 100 towns in America? Now that's pretty impressive and a list I think most towns in the nation would like to be a part of.

Niche recently put together its list of the Top 100 Best Towns to Live In America. This is our prestigious list of the best in the nation. I would venture to say, yes I'm assuming, most people in the United States would love to live in one of these towns. Before we get to the top towns in New Jersey, let's mention that the number one town in America to live is a town called Chesterbrook and its located in Pennsylvania. "Chesterbrook is a suburb of Philadelphia with a population of 5,457."

So here is the 5 best towns in New Jersey according to Niche. "Among others, factors considered are affordability, the local housing market, neighborhood diversity, the quality of public schools, crime, and walkability."

The ranking includes the "National Rank", location and the town "grade"

14. Princeton Junction (A+)
34. Princeton (A+)
47. Ho-Ho-Kus (A+)
69. Ridgewood (A+)
74. River Edge (A+)

They are the cream of the crop here in New Jersey, our best towns according to Niche. Princeton Junction, Princeton, Ho-Ho-Kus, Ridgewood, and River Edge. Do you agree? Would you add any additional towns? Would you remove any of the five? Post your comments below and let us know.
