What's it really like living in Harrison?

OK so Born and raised here. Homes are going for about $221,900 on average. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Should I be concerned?

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value weather, you'll love it. The safety is genuinely challenging and I've found it's improved dramatically in recent years. My neighborhood (Sunset) is stable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from Tampa, be prepared for the culture shock. walkability is completely different here. And Urban sprawl is real.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 12 years ago from Dallas and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: The market is competitive but not impossible. We're paying /mo for a 4-bed in The Heights. It's pretty good for what you get.

Jobs: The market is competitive right now, especially in consulting. If you're in real estate you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 8 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: solid. Tons of options if you like Mediterranean.

Would recommend to anyone considering it..
