Money Magazine describes Franklin Township:
"Despite being just an hour away from New York City, this 46-square-mile township contains quite a bit of farmland. There are miles of walking trails overlooking green pastures. Recreation opportunities are varied, including cricket fields and skateboard ramps. The township's rich cultural diversity is reflected in its many restaurants"from: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2010/07/money_magazines_best_places_to.html
