Also relocated from CT to NJ years ago. Hunterdon county is very like a larger Ridgefield CT area, even the commuting time to NYC is identical.

Clinton/Readington -> Ridgefield (Rural, small main street)

Bridgewater/Raritan/Somerville -> Danbury (Nearby populated town and Both has a decent mall)

Flemington -> Norwalk (Nearby larger town with more activities)

Morristown -> Stamford/Greenwich (Nearby city-like but is very safe, rich)
