It just Doesn't Get Much Better Than Madison, NJ! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I can't say enough great things about Madison, NJ! I moved here as a young man in my 20's and have had no desire to live anywhere else in the 30 years since. Everything from the fantastic weather all year long, to the wonderful people that make up the community, to the beautiful ...Read More countryside and neighborhoods makes this an outstanding place to live. It is by far one of the best areas in the great state of New Jersey. The schools have impressive graduation rates and very low dropout rates. Everyone who wants to work is able to find a job here. Not every place can say that these days.

There are some attractions that bring folks out for some fun around these parts as well. We have The Gravity Vault in nearby Chatham for rock-climbing fun, Xcelerated Adventures if you're into hang gliding, rafting or kayaking, and the Museum of Early Trades and Crafts, which is more my speed. Nice neighborhoods, great people, and entertaining activities make this the best little place ever. Read Less
