About the Newburgh, New York Area
HOW TO GET HERE
The city of Newburgh is located on the Hudson River, approximately 60 miles north of New York City. To get here from New York City, you can take the New York State Thruway (I-87) north to exit #17. If you like traveling by train, take the Metro North Hudson Line from Grand Central to Beacon. From Beacon you can ferry across the Hudson River or take a cab over the Newburgh Beacon Bridge. SCHOOLS
One of the best things about the Newburgh school district is the variety of programs
that are offered to the kids. If your child has a speech or learning problem, there are programs for that. If your child wants to take accelerated classes or take part in many
of the sports offered they compete state wide.
Voters agreed to consolidate the schools in the Town of Newburgh and New Windsor with those in the city of Newburgh into one school district in 1963. This vote created the Enlarged Newburgh City School District. Two new schools were opened in 1972, due to increased population in the Towns of Newburgh and New Windsor. One school, built in the Town of Newburgh, was called Meadow Hill School; the other, called Temple Hill School, was built in New Windsor. Additions to Vails Gate, Fostertown, Gardnertown, and Gidney Avenue Schools were built in the 1980's. The two junior high schools were expanded. A third junior high school, called Heritage Junior High, was built from the former Epiphany Seminary building in New Windsor in the mid 1990's.
SHOPPING
Newburgh has a lot to offer for shopping. The Newburgh Mall has Sears, Bon-Ton,
Old Navy, Bed, Bath & Beyond to name a few. Adams Fairacre Farm has the best in produce, bakery, meats, poultry and all your landscaping needs. We also have Price-Chopper, Super Mal-Mart, Barnes & Nobles, Home Depot, Lowes etc.
COMING SOON....
Construction is set to start on "The Marketplace" which will be located at the crossroads of I-84 and Route 300, that is touted to rival Woodbury Commons.
What's in mind is a mix of big boxes and small stores, a regional shopping hub they hope will draw heavily from across eastern Orange and southern Ulster counties, with a few stores the Mid-Hudson has never seen before.
THINGS TO DO...
We have the Newburgh River Front with great restaurants, spas, cruises up and down the Hudson, we have Bear Mountain and the hiking trails, out-door zoo, winter ice-skating, historical West Point tours and so much more. What also makes living in the Hudson Valley great is the close proximity to the city. In a little over an hour you can be in Manhattan.

Tax Considerations >Tax Rewards for Homeowners
The Federal Tax Code has significantly improved the American taxpayer's ability to profit by selling a principal residence. Prior to 1997, homeowners could take advantage of a tax benefit termed the "rollover", which granted exemption from capital gains taxes on the net profit from the sale of a home. Homeowners who used profits to purchase a bigger and better home did not have to pay tax. And homeowners over the age of 55 were given a once-in-a-lifetime exclusion from taxes on profits of up to $125,000 on the sale of their principal residence.
Compare those tax breaks with our current, streamlined and potentially more profitable arrangement that replaced both the rollover and the one-time exemption. If you are a married home-seller filing jointly, you may enjoy up to $500,000 in tax-free home sale profits, provided you have occupied the property as your principal residence during two of the last five years. Taxpayers who file singly get a $250,000 capital gains exclusion. Homeowners are eligible to exclude capital gains on the sale of a principal residence as often as once every two years.
The law allows capital gain exclusions whether you "buy up" to a more expensive home or "buy down" to a less expensive one. The tax-free dollars can be used in any way you want. Consult your tax advisor for detailed advice about your particular circumstance.
