This Small City in New Jersey was Named One of the Best Places to Live in America

From its beautiful beaches and entertaining boardwalks to its wealth and exceptional education systems, the state of New Jersey offers a unique blend of cultural attractions, and friendly communities, making it a great place to call home.

While there are countless communities throughout the Garden State that make incredible places to live 24/7 Wall St. has created a weighted index of over two dozen metrics to identify the absolute best place to live in each state. It considered all boroughs, census-designated areas, cities, towns, and villages with at least 8,000 residents.

So where is the best place to live in the state of New Jersey? According to 24/7 Wall St., that would be Haddonfield.

Haddonfield is a small town located in Camden County, just across the Delaware River from Philadelphia.

NYC suburbs in northern New Jersey are notoriously praised as being the best places to reside in the Garden State but with rising costs and home prices, this is slowly changing.

In a town like Haddonfield, goods and services are less expensive than just about anywhere in northern NJ meaning your dollar goes a lot farther in a community like this.

The typical Haddonfield household earns $135,700 a year which is nearly $62,000 more than the typical New Jersey household. Compared to the rest of the state, Haddonfield residents are also least likely to struggle with poverty. The area has a poverty rate of just 2.9%, while the rest of NJ has a median poverty rate of 10.9%.

This, coupled with the fact that Haddonfield has access to a major city for jobs and recreational opportunities makes it an amazing option when looking for places to move. The town has been growing steadily over the past 10 years because of this.
