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.

This area provides ample and diverse access to shopping, restaurants, recreation, entertainment, and the public transportation is great.
The downtown area is quaint and good looking. Harrison has an excellent town recreation department with parks and playing fields for residents. If you can afford to live there, it's safe, beautiful, and it has nice schools.
