History: |
Demarest, only 2.5 square miles, a small affluent, friendly
bedroom community just 8 miles from the G.W.B. Nestled around
the Tenakill Brook Duck Pond and the 19th century railroad
station, it is bordered on the north by Closter, the south
by Cresskill, the west by Haworth and the east by Alpine.
Most new residents are professionals or business executives
who like the small town charm, peaceful atmosphere, fine schools,
and the simple commute to NYC. |
