It also boasts another title as well. Money Magazine recently named Chatham as one of the "top ten" places to live in the United States, and it is well-deserving of that accolade. Read More
A Look at Elizabeth, New Jersey
To many, Elizabeth, New Jersey is a pleasant, quiet town of about 130,000 between the Passaic and Raritan Rivers, just across the Arthur Kill from Staten Island, home to hundreds of commuter families and the ever-popular IKEA home furnishings store. But Elizabeth is much more than that. From its start as the first permanent British settlement in New Jersey, the town has been steeped in rich history—and as a result of the community's commitment to preserving that history, Elizabeth has inherited beautiful architecture, cultural events, and a sense of itself that few suburban cities can boast.

It would be difficult to find an area of New Jersey that isn't steeped in cultural history.

Morristown holds this honor, and that's just one of the many things that makes this interesting little hamlet worth investigating. Read More

The Resurgence of Jersey City
Jersey City knows something about bouncing back. With property values rising steadily, a steady influx of retail stores, trendy restaurants and the arrival of some of the corporate world's heaviest heavyweights, Jersey City has become a magnet for families, young professionals and others looking for a safe place to live that's exciting, yet stable. Such was not always, the case, however; Jersey City has survived harsh colonial conditions, stock market crashes, and the onus of not being Manhattan. But as time passes, the area continues to thrive. Read More

New-and-Improved Newark
For many years, Newark had it rough. Not only was the city mired in economic and social crisis, but it was the butt of late-night comedians' jokes, the red-headed stepchild of New York City, the charmless wasteland up the river. In the late 1970s, Harper's magazine thought enough of Newark to name it "the worst city in America," and one well-worn joke had it that the winner of a television game show back in the '50s got a one-week vacation in Newark. Second prize was two weeks. Read More
