Fanwood, New Jersey Great Small Bedroom town / H - 4/19/2008
Have lived in this Central New Jersey small town..20yrs..Love it
Close to Westfield, Scotch Plains and Cranford...affluent towns with
lots of shops, great restaurants but homes are very expensive...taxes are
driving people out. You have to either have to have a great job in New York
or have a lot of money to live here.
Crime very low.. safe area...major highways to the shore and easy commute
to Newark Liberty International
