N.J. well-represented on "Best Places to Live" list
Marlboro was one of eight towns from New Jersey to be cited as one of the "100 Best Places to Live" by Money magazine.
The 2007 list focused on towns with populations between 7,500 and 50,000. Criteria included "economic opportunities, good schools, safe streets, things to do and a real sense of community."
Marlboro ranked 33rd nationally and fourth in New Jersey, behind Montville (13), Hillsborough (23) and River Vale (29). Other New Jersey towns on the list were: Berkeley Heights (45), Sayreville (47), Readington (58) and Moorestown (78). Moorestown was ranked first nationally in 2005.
The top three towns nationally this year were: Middleton, Wisc., Hanover, N.H., and Louisville, Colo.
California had nine towns on the list, the only state with more than New Jersey. Pennsylvania had four (Nether Providence, West Goshen, Horsham and Emmaus) and New York had three (Nanuet, Baldwin and Eastchester).

On top of the 8 that were recognized, there are countless other great communities to live in NJ. Think Princeton, Cape May, Montclair, Rumson.
Whether you and the rest of the editorial page like it or not, there's a reason for this -- our strong tradition of decentralized decision-making -- ie, home rule. It's expensive, it's confusing, but it allows communities to decide their own fate. And that's the precise reason why we have so many great communities on the list and off.
