Reply to comment by Dirk_Dingus in Name of affordable towns in NJ? by AMR812

I grew up in Hackettstown (well, Independence and Allamuchy, technically). You can do worse. It's a cute town with easy access to major highways, NJ Transit has a stop there, nearby farms with great produce, etc.

Two great breweries (and a third just up 46) and some excellent dining choices as well.

I'm not sold on that train station though. Very inconsistent service. I'd trade it for a reliable bus to the Dover station.

I moved a long time ago, so I'm not up on latest dining options.

I believe that train station was only ever meant to serve the 9-5 NYC commuters, so I've only ever grabbed the train at Dover. The bus out of Panther Valley was also very convenient.
