Demarest Business & Shopping
Demarest is primarily residential, with a small neighborhood commercial center around Hardenburgh Avenue and Park Street supplemented by home-based professional firms, contractors, pet services, transportation providers and specialty businesses throughout the borough.
For larger shopping trips, nearby Closter, Cresskill, Dumont and Tenafly greatly expand the retail choices while Demarest retains a quieter, service-oriented local business character.
Demarest commercial areas
Demarest does not have a large downtown retail district. Its local economy is a mix of a compact traditional business area and small service firms distributed through the borough.
Small-scale service businesses and commercial spaces clustered around the historic railroad-station area.
Architects, contractors, technology firms, movers and other appointment-based businesses operate from addresses throughout Demarest.
