Finding a home in harrison twp.
Looking at a home in harriston twp and wanted to hear from anyone that lives in the area. I love being on the water and having a boat in my backyard, but I'm also looking for houses in other areas such as royal oak, birmingham, etc. Basically I just want to know if it is worth it living there all 12 months of the year. I know the winter can be long and I wasn't so sure if this was the best place to be in the winter, however, in the summer I know it is like paradise. So is the long winter compromise worth it? Thoughts?

I grew up in Troy and lived in Harrison Twp for 4 years. I am in VA for work now but still own my house on the Clinton River (got it as a rental now). I love Harrison Twp and the east side, I can't wait to move back!

How is the commute around town from this area? Also, I notice that not a lot of houses have basements, I know it is on the water and that plays a role, but I saw quite a few houses in St. clair shores with basements as well as a few others. Why is that?

I'd say it depends on what price range you're in. HT has new home just off the Clinton river with basements. Rare to find one on the water, usually have crawl spaces.
St Clair Shores are older homes, basements can have flooding issues down there as the sewers and building practices are contributors.
Have friends in Harrison Twp, they love their homes. Boats on the hoist in the yard, with many water toys as well. I live 20 mins form the Marina, in the country. Would love to live on the water, but also love the 10 acres of wildlife I have. Live just north of Harrison Twp.

Friend has a nice house for sale on the salt river a crossed from the rack and launch. Has a hoist for 38 foot also plus a plenty of break wall to tie others. Short ride to the lake. He's looking to get a little above 300,000. Pm me if you would like his information.

I have lived in Harrison Township for almost 15 years. I live on a canal just south of metro beach (Tmager - sounds like we are neighbors). I love my house, canal, access to Lake St Clair, and the whole east side boating experience. I have a full basement and no issues. The winters can be brutal -- but, hey that's Michigan! Doesn't matter whether you're in royal oak or Harrison Twp. It's still cold. For me, 5 months of boating - nice spring and fall are worth it.
