Newburgh is located on the Hudson River in Orange County and offers pristine views and a small city feel replete with access to New York City in about 60 minutes by rail or by car. It is a major city within the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh-Middleburg metropolitan area that is considered a part of the New York megacity.

Families can enjoy boating, shucking for oysters, perusing the area’s shops, galleries, and eating at various cafes, and students can attend St. Mary’s College.
