My family has lived in Westchester for generations and in Harrison specifically for over 30 years. Growing up here in the 1990s and now as a parent and professional, I’ve had the privilege of experiencing Harrison through many lenses. It’s truly a place I’ve been lucky to call home through the ages.

Eat, Drink, Repeat
If food is your love language, Harrison won’t disappoint. From authentic Italian favorites like Trattoria 632 in Purchase and Emilio’s and Trattoria Vivolo downtown to lunch spots like Casa D’Italia on Halstead—the best sandwich shop I’ve ever known—you’ll find flavors from around the world. Greek at Dimitris, Japanese at Hajime, Peruvian at Quenas, Brazilian and Portuguese at Aquario—there’s something for every craving. Don’t miss specialty groceries like DeCicco’s, Oishinbo, and Graziella’s to complete your culinary adventure.
Hop, Skip, Jump
Harrison’s prime location makes commuting a breeze. Hop on an express train from Grand Central and you’ll be home in about 33 minutes. The convenience of hearing “Harrison, first stop!” after a long day can’t be beat. Prefer driving? The Hutchinson River Parkway exit 14 is right in town next to the Police Station, offering easy access to NYC and beyond.
Run, Play, Breathe
Spanning 17 square miles, Harrison is rich in green spaces and outdoor amenities. Enjoy the beauty of Silver Lake Preserve and Cranberry Lake Preserve—two incredible Westchester County Parks. In summer, the Ron Belmont Pool Complex is perfect for family fun with a water playground. For the adventurous, rock climbing at Life Time Athletic or a ropes course at Boundless Adventures await. The Harrison Meadows Country Club, a semi-private gem purchased by the town in 2021, offers golf, tennis, a pool, and more.
Work, Network, Advance
Harrison isn’t just a great place to live—it’s a hub for business and education. Major corporations like PepsiCo, MasterCard, and Westmed Medical Group/Summit Health call Harrison home, along with SUNY Purchase and Manhattanville College. Wegmans Food Market’s recent arrival adds even more convenience. For entrepreneurs and remote workers, Carr Workplaces on Mamaroneck Avenue provides modern coworking spaces with free parking.
Learn, Achieve, Excel
The Harrison Central School District includes four elementary schools feeding into Louis M. Klein Middle School and Harrison High School. Harrison High is an International Baccalaureate World School offering rigorous academic programs recognized worldwide.
