| Harrison West is the more sleepy version of its neighborhood Victorian Village. The district has good access to downtown, a modest commercial district with several good restaurants/bars, quality parks, good historic architecture and a great infill project called Harrison Park. |
URBAN STRENGTHS:
| * Good density at over 10K per sq mile *Great access to downtown, decent bike lanes and transit lines * Decent late 19th century wood and brick Architecture. Harrison Park redevelopment in-fill project, is also high quality. * Vermont Park is a great asset (Blvd. park lined with beautiful historic homes). * Good access to park space (i.e. Harrison Park, Harrison West Park, and Wheeler Memorial Park |
URBAN WEAKNESSES:
| * Commercial District on 3rd still lacks many neighborhood services Could be built up more. * What remains of the historic stock is very nice but much of the neighborhood was rebuilt in the 90s with mediocre historic in-fill * Redevelopment efforts in the southern end of the neighborhood |
