What stands out
Orange County's I-84 / I-87 commuter junction
Newburgh sits at the I-84 and I-87 junction with a Stewart Airport-adjacent commuter base and a steady influx of NYC families relocating since 2020. The planning conversation here often involves a recent move, a 401k or two from past city jobs, and a home that costs less than the Westchester equivalent but appreciates fast in this stretch of the Hudson Valley.
Newburgh is where Peter's Hudson Valley office sits. Clients across Orange County meet him at 400 Auto Park Place Suite 202, or by video if the drive does not fit the calendar. Most of his Orange County families are former or current NYC commuters and recent transplants who bought into Newburgh's price-to-quality-of-life ratio.
Newburgh families come to the planning conversation with a particular shape: a fresh-ish mortgage, multiple old 401ks from past city employers, and a household income that has just settled into its post-move number. The mismatch between what they earned in NYC and what their home now costs creates real planning room, which is often the first thing the conversation surfaces.
