Morristown, NJ, United States

Capital City

Morristown, the so-called "Millionaire City of the Nation," may no longer be a playground for the ultra-wealthy, but its costs remain sky-high. The population has swelled to 20,180, yet the bureaucracy of running a "doughnut town" entirely surrounded by Morris Township persists as a headache. While the Gilded Age mansions have given way to condos, the harsh continental climate and the legacy of the town's strategic role in the Revolutionary War remain. Morristown is best suited for those who can afford its steep price tag and don't mind navigating its entrenched local politics.
