West Orange is highly residential, yet has a large downtown commercial area.
The Main Street Development Corporation, comprised of both interested volunteers and a paid manager, works to promote and revitalize this commercial district. Recent business expansion outside the downtown area includes additions to both the Essex Green Shopping Center and Organon, a pharmaceutical manufacturer. In addition, four townhouse developments have recently been built or are in various stages of construction. A private residential area known as Llewellyn Park was the first planned residential community in the nation. Located in this section is inventor Thomas Edison's estate, Glenmont, which may be visited by the public.
