About
New Windsor has a lot in common with Cornwall, its neighbor to the south, although it does provide easier access to restaurants and shopping. It is near Newburgh and major commuter roadways, making for convenient access to the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge and the towns across the Hudson River. New Windsor is also “over the mountain,” making for a challenging commute during inclement weather.
Parents will want to note that New Windsor students are spread between the Newburgh, Washingtonville, and Cornwall school districts. Before deciding on a property, be sure you are clear on the school district the property is zoned for and whether or not you will need to participate in a lottery for school assignment—common in the Newburgh district.
New Windsor can be a good choice financially. Property taxes are often less expensive than nearby Cornwall and residents often find that housing dollars stretch a bit further.
Neighbors
With a mix of blue and white collar residents, New Windsor draws a wonderful mix of people. Plenty of active duty and retired military members live in the area, including many with ties to West Point and many who work at nearby Stewart Air National Guard Base.
Neighborhood Feel
Home styles vary in New Windsor, with ranches, farmhouses, and colonials all commonly seen.
