Summit is a great community offering a unique residential character combined with great transportation resources, an outstanding educational system, and a retail downtown.

Summit Merchants pride themselves on the fact that "Summit Means Service". A wide variety of stores and shops, selling high-quality merchandise and offering first-rate service grace the nine blocks of Summit's downtown retail area. Home furnishings,decorating and antiques are to be found, along with clothing, sporting goods, jewelry, shoes, stationery and gifts, music and gourmet foods. You, our customers won't be disappointed.

Many excellent restaurants with varied cusines call Summit home. In warmer weather, outdoor cafe-style dining is popular. Two small parks offer seating and shade, and ample parking (free to shoppers) is provided by five Park & Shop lots and two multi-level garages. Downtown events bring many people to the area.

The Suburban Chamber of Commerce, a presence in Summit for 90 years, manages a Gift Certificate program for all downtown businesses. There are no fees of any kind. What a great option for those teacher, coach, or employee recognition gifts! Buy the Gift Certificates M-F 8:30 to 4:30 pm at our office at 71 Summit Ave.
