Where the hell is Walpack! $340 median property taxes.. What is it a trailer park? No information on homes sales or crime rate.. and that deserves a #17 ranking.. what a joke!!!

Posted by: J Rodrigues, Nutley | Feb 20, 2010 14:19:50 PM |

Are you serious???

Do you even know where Woolwich Township is??? Do you know it’s the fastest growing area on the Easy Coast??? It’s ranked lower then Camden City?? I think you need to look into your qualifications again!!!

Posted by: Gayle, Woolwich Twp | Feb 23, 2010 02:11:54 AM |

This must be a joke!

This list must be a joke. How does Linden rank higher than Lebanon Borough?
