Born and raised in the Burgh. Newburgh has seen better days. It is in the process of being revived but I fear the people that are native to Newburgh will be out priced and not able to afford it.
me too, yes we cant even afford to go to the river anymore smh couldnt pay them to come to the river in the 70s now they look at us like why are we there. they wont fix the pier because we might bring our fishing poles and crab baskets to get a meal. they cant have that. whats even worse is now we have a say on the city council and shit still dont get done, swimming pool didnt open last summer, its a shame. and before someone says this is racist im a white boy from third st and then 1970 july to be exact joseph x mullins opened and we move on up like the jeffersons. #146 third st/#33 J4L Mullins aka Blake
There really can be such beauty among all that mess, if somebody cared enough. Those gorgeous brownstones have seen better days. City of Newburgh has looked like this for quite some time
Im originally from Brooklyn but live in the Town Of Newburgh. I have lived in Orange County for close to 20 years. My family calls it home. We supported the local boys and girls club & BlackBusinesses {Black Vanilla} With a little community work The city of Newburgh, which is a diamond in the ruff, can succeed and work for the people who live there. Thanks for highlighting it ✨👌🏾 Side Note: The Architecture of many of the structures should be restored because of their Historical Significance.
I remember asking some time ago about the signs on some of the buildings with the letter X on them. Somebody said that they were on condemned buildings to let firefighters know about the danger there. A while ago I saw an episode of Chicago Fire that might have explained it. It seems that condemned buildings with this sign let the firefighters know where to stop to make sure that the places are boarded up properly and nobody's squatting there.

Incredibly sad to see what has happened to my old home town. It was a wonderful place to grow up in the 40's and 50's: it was a blue collar town , safe and clean.
We ALL know why it's the way it is today. I was going to say exactly what you did except, I was going to say, so many people will look at what it is now and have no idea how beautiful and prosperous downtown Newburgh WAS. And now they for sure never will.
IM from Rochester And looking at this place it looks like Rochester. All of New York has this old wood abandoned worn down look. Our houses aren’t that close but it’s similar in many ways.
6:47 My aunt betty use to own that building. She lived in the bottom and rented out the rest of the building. My uncle Ricky and aunt Brenda stayed next door in the other building.
My grandparents, uncle aunts etc lived in Newburgh and some still do. I recall living there at Stewart Gardens apartments in 1967. Mom stayed near parents while our dad was one his first tour of Vietnam. TMI but was fitted for my first bra at a little boutique downtown lol there really is a procedure beside just strap🤣
8 months later on some of those same streets...2 bdrm apt are going for 1800 to 2k right now. Guess who's paying that much for them and guess who owns them??? Hmm??
I Thank You sooo much for my favorite ride inside in my favorite area where I live nearby in the town of Newburgh if you can take some more very good drives outside around the town of Newburgh Orange County I have lots of wonderful areas to share with you nearby called castle point ... Frozen Ridge Rd... crystal run ..Sputtcrns... .Lattintown Rd. And all other areas around if you ever need to be leaded or guided to other nearby areas I’m available to you ....
@@rebeccam2416Garage was shut down years ago. God damn though when they first opened they had some of the best dope I ever had!!!

It's A hell of a lot safer and less stressful than going into deep ghetto
Newburgh was pretty scary in the 80's, looks like it hasn't changed much . Me and my friends would go there for auto parts, then test them at the Landing. "Wink Wink"
@@bekind4573 what's zvs? CVS? If you're talking about gangs there are no more Latin gangs. There's still a decent sized gang around lander south chambers and Johnston. Southeast newburgh(the heights ann street williams little monument benkard) has more small groups haven't had a big gang there since like 2017 or 18 with ytm
For some reason or another Newburgh became the place to go if you immigrated from central America. Now it is pretty much ghetto. Too bad. Also, it just about an hour north of Harlem.
2011 was the death of the Latin kings in Newburgh a good amount of bloods got caught as well In Newburgh unlike nyc there isn't woo cho etc or any of the complex bronx block gangs. The big western big name gangs control smaller ones. It was Latin kings and bloods but theyr mostly gone so only some smaller new gangs exist
I can tell this place is starting to get gentrified. you can see all the signs in this video. to what extent is the question. I was in newburgh in 2019, and it looked much worse. So many people moved because of the pandemic. it's crazy. I thought gentrification was out of control before. Now it's time for all the small cities and hour or more from the big cities to get some gentrification. Lots of those buildings look like they're being renovated. They did some neighborhoods in boston so fast, that some of the new locals dont even believe you that that neighborhood was a hood 3 years ago. Newburgh isn't very big either. it wouldnt take long. You just need enough interest., especially now that so many of those rich people dont even have to commute.
I have lived in Orange county my whole life and tbh orange County is not that bad nor is Newburgh look at the other side of the town like towards 17k iits nice down there

it doesnt even matter. People couldnt afford it even when it was dirt cheap. So when investors come in an fix it up they will charge more
It’s already to that point. They are pushing out the ghetto big time.

Every area in the region is unaffordable. They'll need to move out of state.
They need to destroy all the old buildings that are unfixable and get new ones. 90% of it is abandoned. The few residents are fine
