First post here. My partner and I are Median household income is $96,916, which feels pretty solid for the area. Average temperature is around 56--F, so the weather is moderate. Household incomes average around $96,916 in Garrison. The unemployment rate is 2.3%, which is pretty low. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Low crime in most areas
- Easy commute
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Poor road conditions
- Mosquitoes and humidity
- Limited cultural events
