Money.com considered towns with populations of 25,000 or more. They removed the places that had more than double the national crime risk and the medical income level lower than 85% of its state's median. Economy, the housing market, cost of living, diversity, public education health and safety, and weather and lifestyle were all considered in building the list, according to nj.com.

What Ocean County New Jersey town should've been on this list?

There are two towns that made the list from New Jersey. But in the top 20, there is one New Jersey town that made the list. Congratulations to Mount Laurel sitting at number 16 as one of the best towns in America and Bridgewater at number 31.

Mount Laurel is a beautiful spot in New Jersey. It has a lot to offer, but I still don't think it comes close to our Ocean County towns, especially our cozy beach towns.
