An outdoorsy village on the Hudson River, about one hour north of Manhattan
New Windsor Township is a small town in Orange County, about 60 miles north of Manhattan, appealing to nature lovers who want to explore. Riverside views of the Hudson Highlands provide a rugged feel, but the landscape receives a dash of creativity with Storm King Art Center, one of the largest outdoor sculpture museums in the country. Promoting recreation is also part of the town’s mission. Officials began looking into a nearly million-dollar splash pad project in October 2024, with Ruscitti Park and Kristi Babcock Memorial Park being touted as potential sites. Local industry reflects a kind of outdoorsy ethos, with one major employer providing support services for lumber dealers. But in this town of 27,800 people, commuters and travelers are well served, too. Interstates 84 and 87 wrap around Stewart International Airport on the north side. “The majority of people moving to New Windsor are coming from south of here,” says Patty Clarino, the town clerk. She mentions that preserving history is a key part of the town’s identity. “We have the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, which is a museum that shows recipients of the award as well as different wartime artifacts," she says. "We also have the Cantonment State Historic Site, the last encampment before the Revolutionary War ended. It’s really neat to walk around some of the buildings that have remained.”
Roughly an hour's drive north of Manhattan, New Windsor Township, in Orange County, provides a slower-paced, nature-focused living experience within a small-town setting.

Older homes in planned developments
One of the benefits of digging into New Windsor Township’s housing market is discovering different lifestyles. It’s possible to go from waterfront properties on the east end to manufactured homes on the more rural outskirts further west. In between are suburban stretches like Coach Court Road, which peels away from I-87, the corridor cutting New Windsor Township nearly in half. These are planned developments, with homes built at the same time – in this case, colonial-style homes from 2005. Driveways, neat landscaping and sidewalks are some of the amenities drawing homebuyers to these pockets. “There are a few contemporary developments around town, but nothing brand new, maybe from the past 10 to 15 years,” says Clarino. The median price is $420,000, putting New Windsor Township almost in line with the national median. Price is of course dependent on location. A waterfront townhome with 3,000 square feet of living space can run up to $720,000, while a manufactured home can go for $130,000.

Enjoying the Hudson River and wandering along trails
Plum Point Park serves up views of the Hudson Highlands. There’s also an open field for picnicking, a pavilion and a playground. Kristi Babcock Memorial Park offers a more traditional experience with athletic facilities and trails. Smaller pocket spaces like Ruscitti Park present similar amenities, just at a cozier scale that’s in harmony with surrounding residential streets. Overall, the town has seven public parks. Stewart State Forest anchors the west end with over 20 miles of trails that pass through a variety of ecosystems. Many also head to Storm King Mountain for scenic views of the Hudson Valley. In the mid-19th century, painters used this vantage point for their work. Besides the Hudson River, other bodies of water offer recreation opportunities. Browns Pond is favored by bass fishers for its quiet surroundings. Lake Washington is a bit more social with boat rentals and picnic grounds.
New Windsor Township residents come to Kristi Babcock Memorial Park to support their local sports teams.

Shopping and dining on state Route 32 and Blooming Grove Turnpike

Commuting on State Route 32, U.S. Route 9W
Stewart International Airport offers commercial flights, but locals say noise isn’t a consideration, since not many homes are developed around the site. Plus, the runway is situated on the side of Newburgh city. New Windsor Township is car-centric, but there are several corridors that make trips convenient, like Routes 32 and 9W. “It’s not like you have to drive 20 minutes to get to things you need, errands are more of a 10-minute drive from wherever you live,” says Clarino. “Our town doesn’t have sidewalks because of how we’re based on 32 and 9W. It’s not really a town where you’ll be walking to places, but on the other hand we have so many parks to stroll in.” The nearest commuter rail station is at Salisbury Mills, about 5 miles west.
Public safety alert from state police
Burglaries in New Windsor greatly increased during January 2025, enough for New York State Police to issue a public safety alert for the Hudson Valley. However, violent crime had been trending downwards in Orange County from 2013 to 2022.
