Money Magazine's 'best places to live' list includes four N.J. towns

Money Magazine's list of 'best places to live' in the United States includes four New Jersey towns in the top 100 ranking, according to CNNMoney.com.
Franklin Township in Somerset County ranked the highest on the list at 34, while nearby Piscataway in Middlesex County came in 57, Wayne in Passaic County ranked 73, and Middletown in Monmouth County ranked 89.

Eden Prairie, Minnesota, with a median home price of $430,710 topped the Money Magazine list, which ranked the towns based on jobs, crime, housing prices and quality of life.

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"
