  • Today we are in Newburgh, New York. Newburgh is a small city in New York State located 60 miles north of New York City and 90 miles south of Albany.
    Newburgh is a small city of only 28,000 residents, a little less than 5 square miles in size but per capita wise it packs a powerful punch. It has been struggling with crime and other common urban problems for decades. Back in 2012 Neighborhood Scout ranked this tiny town as the 10th worst place to live in the United States and more dangerous than 95% of U.S. cities based on FBI crime Data.
    Today we drive through to see if today it fares any better or if things still looking bleak.
    Asides from crime and poverty, Newburgh has some good in it's past as this was home to the George Washington led Contintental Army, serving as their headquarters March 1782 until late 1783.

    Where is the area that’s “redone” or gentrified? I read there used to be an area it’s just small. Thanks for any info.

      Its a little strip of restaurants along the river and thats about it. One of the main reasons its not being successfully gentrified is there is no commuter rail line from NYC to Newburgh. Look at Beacon right across the river. It was very similar to Newburgh at one time but has been completely gentrified due to it have a metro north stop with direct trains to grand central.

      @@rjak292 I didn’t even think about the train lol you’re right. Beacon’s train is right there. It looks you have to take a 30 min ferry ride from Newburgh to Beacon to get back down?

    The city of Newburgh is totally separate from the Town of Newburgh. The problem is the town of Newburgh is often overlooked due to crime in the city of Newburgh. The town of Newburgh enjoys, little crime , many of the residents are college educated and they have a strong presence of active and retired law enforcement living in the Town. The Town of Newburgh is a totally separate municipality than the City of Newburgh.

      Property values have more than tripled since covid. speculators have bought up the majority of available buildings for a pittance . go to TRULIA real estate site, scroll across the top row until the "more" column, and view the sold section to get a clear picture of what is going on in Newburgh.
