First time home buyer in Harrison
Been meaning to ask this. Military spouse here. With a population of 13,345, Harrison is a small town. Household incomes average around $118,047 in Harrison. The median home value here is around $314,200, which seems about average. Poverty rate is 1.7%, which is pretty low. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The city has invested a lot in new development.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Nice parks and trails
- Close to nature
- Easy commute
- Active local events
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Boring for young people
- Chain restaurants dominate
- Homelessness issues downtown
People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
