The place to be in New Jersey is Monmouth County, Middlesex County, or Ocean County. A lot of the towns are beautiful here. Whenever people hear New Jersey, they automatically think of Camden and Newark, etc., which is sad, because the majority of the state is quite beautiful. And I'm not really surprised New Jersey is #2. In fact, I'm quite surprised that we're not #1, considering a very large amount of people who live here work in NYC on Wall Street. I'm tempted to say that half of the families in my neighborhood (just a guess) have a parent that works in New York City.
