8 City Terrace Newburgh NY

Here is a large building on City Terrace just at the corner of Broadway. It’s hanging on but it doesn’t look like it can last much longer. Buildings like this often mysteriously catch fire. This building is owned by and man a woman who bought it for $1.00 back in 2005. Really, this is sad. There is potential here for quality housing, and for even a nice shop or office space on the right. If you would like to learn more about the history of this property you can search here.

357 Liberty St Newburgh NY

This mixed-use space is located at the northern end of Liberty Street. This area is quite depressed, and a lot of the revitalization we are seeing is further south. But that is no reason no to pay attention to this modest home. Figuring out what to do with that shop in the front might be tricky. It would make a nice office. Many cities are banning non-see through security gates because they create dark streets and attract graffiti. This is a bank owned property, Wells Fargo.

9 South Miller Newburgh NY

What a beauty this home could be! Instead she’s almost falling apart. These homes have lasted about 100 years. They won’t make it 100 more in this condition. The last time this building sold was in 2005. Somebody rescue me!

26 South Miller Newburgh NY

Another home on South Miller that is falling apart. How old do you think that roof is on the porch? However old, it won’t last long now that the banister has been removed out of place. We looked at this home 3 years ago. My, it is deteriorating rapidly. Such a shame because there are some gorgeous details inside if they still exist like the trim on the hardwood floors. She could be a real beauty, but South Miller is a tough block.
