So, which New Jersey towns got the honor of being named on this list? Here they are. Let's see if you agree.

#16 Haworth - It's a small borough in Bergen County, with a population of under 4000 people. This town is nestled in the northeast corner of our state.

#7 Mountain Lakes - The Morris County town of Mountain Lakes is New Jersey's first entry on the list's top 10.

#3 Princeton Junction - landing solidly in the top 5 is the lovely Mercer County town of Princeton Junction. It was topped by only Great Neck Gardens, New York, and Houserville, Pennsylvania.

Towns like Spring Lake, Cape May, Red Bank, and Hoboken could easily have made the list as well, but we won't be greedy.
