Demarest, only 2.5 square miles, is a small, affluent, friendly bedroom community just eight miles from the George Washington Bridge, 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 New York.
