Newburgh Apartments and Rentals

Located in Orange County, N.Y., the city of Newburgh offers a high-quality lifestyle to its residents. Just 60 miles north of New York City and bordered by the Hudson River, this densely populated community only spans about four miles but is home to about 29,000 people, according to statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau. The scenic beauty and rich history are attractive enough, but the central location offers residents the ability to easily travel the East Coast. Interstate 84, the New York State Thruway and Stewart International Airport are all nearby. People living in Newburgh apartments for rent can enjoy the stunning Hudson River waterfront, Downing Park and Bannerman’s Island.

By the end of World War II, the city experienced a major boom in population and the Stewart Air Force Base began to serve and train Army air corps, as it was the center for the Northeast US air defense shield. By the early 1970s, the base closed, but the community continued to prosper as chain stores began popping up all over.

Today, residents in Newburgh apartments often travel to New York City for employment, and the redevelopment of the community has begun attracting new businesses and job opportunities. Students in the area can attend higher education institutes like Orange County Community College.

Downing Park is one of the most beloved attractions in Newburgh. Spanning 35 acres in the heart of the city, this park features winding paths, picturesque hills and valleys, streams, and a diverse variety of flora and fauna. This is just one of the many parks across town where residents can enjoy the beautiful outdoors and the scenic waterfront.
