Very peaceful town with friendly, family-oriented population and excellent access to shopping, the highways and restaurants. The culture of the town is very laid-back, relative to other NYC suburbs close to the northeast corridor or Bergen lines. The township has historically been sensibly prudent regarding expenditure and not wasted too much money on just making the public schools glamorous unlike some other nj town.
I grew up in South Plainfield it is a friendly inviting community where neighbors look out for one another, and everyone says hello to one another. Police force is community oriented; they are actively involved in building and maintaining strong relationships within the community.
I went there countless times because my cousins live there. It's very quaint but beautiful in its own way. You have lots of greenery, the houses are decent-sized, a good amount of commercial restaurants, and very friendly people that I've met. Sadly, a little too boring and there aren't many sidewalks there, so you will definitely need a car.
