NJ Monthly: Millburn Is Good Place to Live

New Jersey Monthly's annual 'Top Towns' survey, which was released in August.

It's good to live in Millburn and Short Hills.

The magazine New Jersey Monthly ranked Millburn-Short Hills in the top-15 percent of the best places to live in the Garden State in its 2013 "Top Towns" survey. 

Millburn was ranked 62nd out of the 514 towns throughout the state. 

Some other Essex County municipalities were ranked as follows: 

  • Essex Fells: No. 72
  • Verona: No. 78
  • Montclair: No. 116
  • Roseland: No. 146
  • Maplewood: No. 179
  • South Orange: No. 233
  • West Orange: No. 309
  • Newark: No. 506
NJ Monthly's survey ranked 514 of New Jersey's 566 municipalities after dropping towns with populations under 1,500 due to lack of statistical data. The rankings took into account: home values, property taxes, crime rate, school performance and lifestyle, according to the website.
