Harrison, New York

Harrison, a small town just 30 minutes from New York City, offers beautiful real estate on rolling hills and tree lined streets. The community offers a compelling place to live, work, and play.

John Harrison, a Quaker from Long Island, purchased 22 square miles in 1696 from the Mohican Indians in an area now known as the Town of Harrison. Similar to many other towns in Westchester County, Harrison grew from a farming community to a thriving residential community. Harrison also has a thriving business center. Many business professionals and other residents who enjoy living in their sprawling estates and quaint homes in Harrison benefit from Harrison having a railroad stop that makes commuting to and from New York City easy.

Harrison is an active, diverse town with a wide range of recreation activities, property values, income levels, major faiths, professions and origins. Harrison’s recreation program offers basketball, soccer, football, golf, dance, lacrosse, tennis, swimming, cheerleading, art, fitness, Senior, yoga, and other programs. These programs and many events can be found at the Sollazzo Center, Leo Mintzer Center, Brentwood Pool, West Harrison Park and other areas in Harrison, New York.

Harrison appeals to those people looking to live in small cottages to castles spread across 6,846 parcels of residential, commercial and vacant real estate properties. Harrison residents also benefit from Harrison having developed corporate areas that contribute to the tax base and house companies such as Pepsico, Texaco and Mastercard. Harrison appeals to those homeowners and renters who desire a modern school system, close proximity to Manhattan, and a country atmosphere.

Purchase is an exclusive enclave encompassing six square miles in the northern section of Harrison. Purchase has an expansive, country atmosphere that stems in part from blending baronial estates with manicured corporate parks, universities, and three country clubs. The State University of New York, and Manhattanville College are located in Purchase.
