According to Money Magazine and CNN Money, Moorestown, New Jersey is the Best Place to Live.

The article describes Moorestown as a small, affordable town with a quaint feel. Beware: the town was founded by Quakers and you can't buy alcohol. Have no fear, Philadelphia is only 15 miles away. (Is that always a good thing?)

Another New Jersey town made the top ten list: Chatham. Princeton, my next door neighbor, hit the list at number fifteen. That's a little surprising since the borough is completely unaffordable and the public school system is not one of the best; anybody who is anybody in Princeton sends their kids to one of the many private or charter schools. It is a very pretty area, though.

Follow-up: Readers wrote to CNN Money berating them for not including their precious hometowns. Entertaining.
