Harrison’s location along the banks of the Passaic River just north of Newark makes it an appealing alternative to living in the big city. Harrison’s charm is inescapable thanks to its tidy streets and diverse neighborhoods. The city’s relatively small population sticks together as a tightly knit community while transportation options make commuting to work relatively easy.
Development along the riverfront and construction of new multi-use buildings and apartments are providing renters with a vibrant new image of Harrison. The rest of the city is made up of charming residential areas with well-maintained homes and buildings. Harrison’s relatively low crime rate, close proximity to Newark and Jersey City, and its access to public transportation are combining to make this an up-and-coming area in the tri-state area.
