Well over 80% of the NJ state population is north of Route 1 in Central Jersey. Essentially all of that is hilly. So, yeah, NJ is pretty hilly. I mean, go to any non-poor town in North Jersey, and there will be steep elevations. I mean, why you think towns are named Alpine, Mountainside, Mountain Lakes, and the like?
And I don't know any part of NJ that is "barren" unless you're referring to the Pine Barrens, which is a large South Jersey forest. It's "barren" for agriculture (sandy soil) but it's thick coastal woods, the largest of its type on the U.S. eastern seaboard.
