There are so many! Many people try and make fun of Jersey because the only part they've seen is along the interstate, but when you get into the communities I think its a great place to grow up.

I'm not sure which part of New Jersey you're interested in, but I think the best thing to do is to take a look at our Compare cities feature. For example, check out this link:
www.greatschools.net/cities.page?includeState=&order=&all=&city=New+Brunswick&state=NJ&submit.x=717&submit.y=313

This page shows schools around New Brunswick. It displays our ratings at the city level for a variety of nearby cities (10 is best!). If you have a location in mind to start, compare that city to nearby cities. Then you can also hover over the city and see median home prices. You can also click through to our city page to learn more about crime statistics, median income, etc. Here is New Brunswick's city page as an example:
www.greatschools.net/city/New_Brunswick/NJ

Hope that helps, and let me know if you've narrowed it down.
