18 Morris County Towns Named 'Best Suburbs to Raise a Family' - Is Yours One Of Them?

Great schools, low crime, nice places to live.

Those are some of the factors that make up the newest rankings by niche.com, which now says 18 Morris County towns are among the top 100 suburbs in New Jersey to raise a family.

Morris County is home to 39 municipalities, so nearly half on the list is pretty extraordinary, especially considering the rankings site did not include “distinct towns or cities” in its compilation.

The methodology weighed nine different factors, including age demographics, access to grocery stores, day care centers, and libraries, along with education and crime reports. See the full methodology here.
