Relocating (New York, Monroe, Newburgh: buying a house, buying, school districts)

[ammie1016]

Hi All, I am new to this but wanted to see if I could get some info.

We are in the process of buying a house in the areas of Monroe, Chester, Newburgh & New Windsor.

Could someone tell me any info that would be helpful about the areas.

We found a great house in Monroe Village, waiting on the bank to approved the offer.

How do you guys feel about the other areas listed above.

Thanks,

Ammie

Can anyone help me out there. I was told that I should stay out of Newburgh, anyone else have any info that would be helpful.

It seems like the Monroe-Woodbury area of Orange County is on the rise with many people moving there lately. I've heard that about the city of Newburgh, but I guess the town of Newburgh is fine. Chester I believe is more of a smalle town/rural type of environment. New Windsor is close to Newburgh and I think the children there can go to either Newburgh City schools or Cornwall schools. Here is some information on the school districts there if interested: New York schools - NY elementary, middle and high school information

Hi,
New Windsor also feeds into Washingtonville schools.
