Wondering what the nearby swimming scene is. Thinking Hudson River, or other nearby rivers, quarries, and what have you. Lmk if there are fun places to take a dip nearby.

Gotta fill up my oil tank, who have you had the best experiences with— Service, pricing, timelines In town of Newburgh?

worst experiences?

Hi All!

I wanted to give an update on what we did in Newburgh this past weekend. My partner and I, both 25 are really thinking about moving to Newburgh so we visited last weekend and stayed on Montgomery st to scope it out.

The day started in Beacon, with some remote work at a coffee shop. Then I went for a mountain bike ride at Ninham. Later in the day I had scheduled an apartment tour at the Lofts at the foundry. I like the building and I think it’s a good area, close to the brewery, a park, and liberty.

Then I had a fried chicken sandwich and Betty’s. Walked around bit then chilled at the bnb. In the evening I walked around the waterfront a bit, tbh not as nice as I thought but I’m also very spoiled with Long Island waterfront towns. We had a dinner at Hudson taco which was fun and chill.

In the morning we had brekkie at downstate, checked out the farmers market, and walked around north of Broadway. Breakfast was fantastic.

We drove up to New Paltz and checked out this Hudson valley vintage fest, which was hectic and cool for a little. Then we drove back down, and went to the brewery for the soccer game. Fun atmosphere and friendly folks, beer was great too. At halftime we headed into Beacon and had another pint followed by a great dinner at The Wild.

Lastly we headed to The Ellis at night for some house play. Honestly great vibes, I had no idea what to expect lol. We walked there around 10pm from Montgomery, then ubered back. Next morning we hit the beacon farmers market followed by an English breakfast.

One thing that stands out to me about Newburgh is how folks that live there actually WANT people to move here and check it out. Where I live now (North Fork) the vibe is different, people aren’t so friendly to newcomers. I think that sentiment gives Newburgh a really exciting feeling, perhaps a growing sense of opportunity. Newburgh has energy and momentum, and I don’t know how many Hudson Valley towns can say the same right now.

It’s hard not to see all the comments everywhere about how bad/dangerous Newburgh is, but I really wonder how many of those folks live there now or have lived there in the past 5 years. I mean, I drove down some streets that I’d probably think twice about walking down, but I’ve also only lived in suburban towns my entire life 😂, and I’m aware of that. Overall, Newburgh has many positives, and I’m excited for the future.

The Newburgh Mall in Newburgh NY has been converted to a strip mall. Here is a walk thru video when it was an inside mall for over 40 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig6KceUAFws

Checking out Newburgh this weekend to get a feel for the city and help determine if I’d like to move there later this year. What is the most Newburgh-y day we can have in Newburgh, I want the good, the bad, the ugly, and the pretty. Give me it all.

What are the spots? Give me the best places, expensive and cheap, does Newburgh have good food?

Does anyone have any thoughts about these apartments? They look nice, and the prices seem fair.

Amazing art this weekend in Newburgh - get out there and check it out!

Why don’t we have them throughout the city and town?

Disheartened to discover this place closed a few years ago… Any word on if there’s intention to re-open? or why it closed? Just no interest?

hello i’m coming to newburg to do an internship an montefiore St Luke Cornwall. I’m looking for a place to rent for a month. Everything on airbnb is very expensive. Any leads in getting a cheaper accommodation would mean a lot!!

Hi all! Contemplating a move to the Hudson Valley and I’m curious how the commute from Newburgh to NYC is. I commute 3x a week into lower manhattan.
Thanks!
