The 10 Snobbiest Towns in New Jersey

If I asked you to name the snobbiest cities in New Jersey, what would you say?

I did a little informal poll of my friends and most of them said the same spot...Princeton.

I understand why they answered that way...it's an affluent area. As you pass through town there are many big, beautiful homes and fancy cars.

Princeton is filled with prep schools (The Hun School, Princeton Day School, Stuart County Day School, and more) and is home to the best of the best Ivy League school, Princeton University.

I know this may be hard to believe but, Princeton did NOT make the 10 Snobbiest Places in New Jersey list.

Any guess which part of New Jersey most of these snobby towns are in?

Yup, North Jersey. That doesn't mean there aren't snobby parts of Central and South Jersey but, overall the North part of the state has the most.
