Bergen County towns / Northern Valley
Demarest
Wooded, quiet and almost entirely single-family; the old railway right-of-way is now a walking path through the middle of town.
All data is aggregated from within the past year.
Getting to Manhattan
Bus to Port Authority. Budget roughly 52 minutes door to Midtown at peak. Confirm against the current timetable, and test the trip yourself before you commit to a town on the strength of its commute.
The market here
Demarest sits in Northern Valley, with roughly 1,695 households. Homes there sold for an average of $1.99M across 52 closed sales over the period covered below, which places it toward the upper end of the county. An average is pulled by the extremes, so treat it as a bearing rather than a price. In a borough this size the street matters more than the town-wide figure.
