One of the best things about Harrisonburg apartment living is the shopping! With the holidays steadily approaching and the Farmer’s Market at its prime, this is an excellent time to explore the very special Harrisonburg shopping scene. Here are a few of our favorites:
Rocktown Gift Shoppe
As local Harrisonburg apartment residents, many of us may have overlooked the Hardesty-Higgins House Visitor Center thinking that it is largely for tourists, but within the Center is the Rocktown Gift Shoppe, a delightful place to shop for guests and coworkers (and even for yourself). You can even tell them your budget, choose your favorite products, and let them create a goodie bag for you.
Snow and Ice Christmas and Gift Store
If you’re a Harrisonburg apartment resident, you have probably driven by the Snow and Ice Shop. The store is adorned year-round with over-the-top seasonal decor. This is your one-stop-shop for hard-to-find items, gifts, and decorations for every season.
Oasis Art and Craft Gallery
The natural beauty of the Shenandoah Valley has inspired countless artists to create art that reflects the abundance of the area. The Oasis Art and Craft Gallery highlights a community of local artists who produce eye-catching work while teaching the community about the art of the region. This gallery is a great way to support local artists and find that perfect, one-of-a-kind piece of decor for your Harrisonburg apartment home.
