Yea, I've certainly paid my dues living in busy bar towns so I'm really hoping to venture out of it. If I want to enjoy it, I'll drive in or uber in whatever.

I definitely appreciate the recommendations of Chatham and Madison. I was actually looking at places between Morristown and Summit too, because I will on occasion have to head out to Summit for work too. I know in the grand scheme of things, these towns are negligible distances apart while driving and it shouldn't matter too much.

I was really just hoping to learn about if there are any areas that just don't fit what I'm looking for, and just should avoid altogether.
