Best towns / suburbs to live in near Phillipsburg, New Jersey?

Hi - I grew up in Central Jersey so I feel like I don't have a ton of knowledge about townships / areas in the North but my husband is considering a job in Phillipsburg and we were trying to figure out neighboring townships / areas that would be a good place to raise a family?

We're both suburban people, so we're ideally looking for somewhere that's the suburbs with good school districts, strong community, and (if possible) solid local restaurants. We currently live near the Somerville area and love the community here / the main street but it's a bit too far out from where his job would be and I'm not sure how great the schools in Raritan are (if anyone has input on that, would be super helpful)!

Ideally looking for somewhere that's within a 35 min commute to Phillipsburg.
