Claiming you live in one of the safest towns in America is a pretty bold statement, but one that results in high property values and less stress.

Safewise.com recently announced its top 100 safest cities in the country with populations over 10,000 residents, and listed a slew of New Jersey municipalities. Four of them are within Somerset County’s borders.

They include: Bernards, Montgomery, Hillsborough and Warren.

It should be noted that a number of New Jersey towns were not considered because of their under-10,000 population.
