Hello, I'm a college student here and Household incomes average around $51,006 in Newburgh. You can expect to pay around $1,363 for rent here. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.

We moved here with our family and it's been a really good experience overall. Schools in Riverside area are hit or miss. Kids love it here.

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are average, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem decent.
I've been here 6 years and it exceeded my expectations. The thing nobody mentions is safety. It's developing and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the dating scene is legit. And if you're into skiing, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Downtown side vs the Lakewood side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

I've been here 9 years and it's not perfect but it works for me. The thing nobody mentions is cultural scene. It's competitive and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the cost of living is legit. And if you're into kayaking, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Old Town side vs the Uptown side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
It's not for everyone but it works for us..

Public transit is excellent here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I genuinely enjoy living here.
