Been meaning to ask this. I'm a 40-year-old restaurant manager and Median household income is $42,183, which feels on the lower side for the area. Household incomes average around $42,183 in Harriman. Rent is about $737/month for a decent place. Homes are going for about $162,500 on average. You can expect to pay around $737 for rent here. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Good schools
- Low taxes

Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Lack of diversity
- Boring for young people
Does this match your experience? TIA! The weather takes some getting used to. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The city has invested a lot in new development.

The suburbs are where most families end up. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
