Detailed map of Newburgh's original waterfront
Hi,
Just posting here to share a map of Newburgh’s waterfront area made ~1900 that I found on the Library of Congress website. The map can be downloaded in a VERY high resolution (a 150mb TIFF file) but unfortunately, the key marking what each of the numbered buildings were at the time appears to be missing.
Still, it’s a really awesome illustration that shows just how much of the waterfront was razed in the 1960s, and which neighborhoods have remained unscathed. Here’s the link:

Doggie Questions
My wife and I are in the process of buying a home in Newburgh! We anticipate a mid-July closing; we will be full time residents at the beginning of August. We have an awesome two-year-old beagle mix named Fern. We are looking for a good vet, dog walker, boarding service, anything useful to raising a dog in the Newburgh area. I will be commuting to Manhattan every day, and my wife and I travel quite a bit for work. Any pearls of wisdom or suggestions on people/places are most welcome.
Many thanks,
Barbara
Bathtub finish repair.
We just moved into a house that has really nice claw foot tubs, but one of them has the finish flaking off, almost like paint. Does anyone know how to fix this or a contractor that can?
Looking for a Rental
Hi All,
I’m looking for a rental for myself and my 2.5 year old son, which is in a good pedestrian neighborhood with easy access to ferry, parks, restaurants. Im open to historical homes or open space lofts.
Are there good daycare/schools for 2-3 year olds in the area or do parents take their children to Beacon?
Also, does anyone know the cost of train pass to NYC?
Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks so much.

Glass and contractors
Hi,
We unfortunately have a couple of windows with bent glass that are broken and need to be replaced, as well as a few other regular windows that need glass replacement. Does anyone know of a good glass place that does bent glass? We are also looking for a plasterer and a painter who also puts up wallpaper.
Thanks!

Like the last person….. looking for a big dog friendly rental!
Hi Newburgh!
I will be moving to the Hudson River Valley in mid/late August for a job, and am really interested in living in Newburgh for a year to “test it out” for a possible permanent home buying location. Ideally I am looking for a nicer 1 bedroom/large studio, a loft type would be nice but not necessary, but preferably in one of the neighborhoods with good potential for buying and renovating a row house in the next couple years. I would love to have rent around $700-750, but would consider higher for the right place. The tricky part: I have a German Shepard. She’s not huge, about 55 lbs, and loves people, but she does have a watch dog bark and a classic guard dog look. We (the dog and myself) live in a slightly sketchy part of Santa Rosa, and I’ve been grateful for that bark before when there have been near break-ins, so I regard her as a minor security measure. She is, for better or worse, actually harmless. Just a nice scary profile 🙂
Things I’m especially excited about Newburgh are getting involved with the community gardening projects and the arts scene-is there a good yarn store in town yet? Coming from an area of California where the neat neighborhoods are so unbelievably priced out of range (including large parts of Oakland now…), it’s really exciting to read about the stuff going on in this city and see the kind of real estate still available. Looks like a fantastic future ahead of it!
Any advice on good places to look for rentals, or if anyone has one coming available in that timeframe would be hugely appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
Strictly roofing
Hi,
We are getting some quotes from different contractors to get our slate roof fixed. I was wondering whether anyone here had work done by Gary Curtis (Strictly Roofing)?
Thank you,

Looking for a pet-friendly rental in Newburgh
Hey there.
Been reading NR for a few years now and have visited many times. I love the place and am looking to finally make the move from Brooklyn (of course).
I’m looking for a pet-friendly, preferably 2+ bedroom rental somewhere in walking distance of the ferry. My dogs are city dogs. They’ve lived with me in NYC apartments for 8 years and they LOVE people. They’re good dogs.
It would just be myself and them. I’d use the extra bedroom(s) as an office. I publish a site and direct an org dedicated to ethics reform and good governance issues in NYS. I’m pretty google-able, if you’re a landlord and you wanna know who I am and what I do.
If anyone has any leads on a place that meets those requirements, I’ll gladly take you out to lunch anywhere you like. Or cook for ya. Or whatever.
Any leads are *greatly* appreciated.
Home inspection recommendations
Can anyone provide any suggestions for a home inspector that will work in Newburgh? Thanks in advance.
Vacant home insurance
Hi,
We are buying a house in Newburgh and now shopping for insurance for the house, which is vacant. Does anyone here have an agent or insurance company to recommend?
Thank you,
Julie
Thinking of moving to Newburgh
Hello, quick question…. does anyone have a rough idea about the monthly services cost? electric, gas, water and the like….. I know it changes according to one’s household, but we just want to have a ballpark notion of it.
Thanks!
