Harrison is a good place for enjoying a privileged lifestyle. It's posh and showy. Many of it's residents are wall street types. It's not a far commute from Manhattan (22 miles) so professionals also choose to live here for that convienent fact.
Real estate costs can only be met by multi-millionaires. It is not a place for the average American citizen to reside in. You have to be rich to live there.
This area provides ample and diverse access to shopping, restaurants, recreation, entertainment, and the public transportation is great.
