A large portion of the city's popularity is due to the continued development of its downtown area. Harrisonburg checks off several of the boxes for people searching for a place to call home.
Downtown Harrisonburg has undergone a "makeover" over the last 10 years. Considered the heartbeat of the community, Harrisonburg's downtown is a walkable, bikeable area in which to live. Right outside of your door, you'll discover a well-sampled culinary district (with 40+ restaurants in 40 blocks), the Harrisonburg Farmers Market, shopping, cultural and historical experiences and neighborhood services.
