Hunterdon county is one of the wealthiest counties in the entire nation, based on median household income. So, while it's not perfect, by any means, it is a generally nice place to live--nice schools, low crime, plenty of local amenities, etc. Personally, I don't like all of the traffic in Fleminton, itself, though there is a lot available there. I've lived in the Clinton/Annandale area, and it's very nice--I have never seen so many Porsche SUVs anywhere else. The area is picturesque, and there are a lot of little ritzy shops and restaurants there. It's not unusual to walk into downtown Clinton on a summer weekend to find live bands playing on the street and young couple taking their kids to trendy ice cream shops. Alexandria Twp. is more rural--lots more farms and bigger properties. Lebanon isn't quite as fancy, but there is a lot nearby, as it's close commuter routes (22 & I-78).

In sum, the Hunterdon area is nice--nicer than a lot of NJ--and a good place to live and raise kids. That is, if you can afford to live there.
