West Harrison delivers a rare blend of lakeside calm and easy access to big-city conveniences. Centered around the Silver Lake area, the hamlet offers tree-lined streets, well-kept colonials and capes, and a friendly pace, while sitting minutes from the heartbeat of White Plains and the broader amenities of the Town/Village of Harrison.
Outdoorsy residents head to the county-run Silver Lake Preserve for wooded trails, birding, and quiet water views, a year-round retreat maintained by Westchester County Parks. Local fields, playgrounds, and a lively community center round out the recreational lineup, with seasonal programs that keep neighbors connected.
Families value the strong schools in the Harrison Central School District, where students benefit from robust academics, arts, and athletics—culminating at Harrison High School, an International Baccalaureate World School. Daily commuting is straightforward: express service from the nearby White Plains Station on Metro-North puts Midtown within reach, and driving routes via I‑287 and the Hutchinson River Parkway make regional travel simple.
Weekends bring dining along Lake Street, errands and upscale shopping in White Plains, and cultural escapes just up the road in Purchase. With county services, parks, and programs managed by Westchester County, everyday life runs smoothly.
