By American standards, New Windsor has been around a long time; it was founded in 1762, and was named after Windsor, England. It's best known for its pivotal role in the Revolutionary War, when it served as an important depot for the Continental Army and its medical department. You can even visit the army's last encampment here, as well as a number of historical buildings from the period. With a population of 8,822, New Windsor manages to maintain its own small town identity, so that it's hard to believe that it's only 55 miles from the Big Apple. Somehow, the shadow of New York City never quite reaches this gentle, historic town, and this makes it an ideal place for folks to live who prefer to work in the city and commute home to a quieter place.
Getting There
New Windsor is easy to get to -- it's just off Interstate 84. The area does get some snow every year -- not a deluge, but if you prefer not to negotiate a moving van in the white stuff, you might want to avoid moving in the dead of winter. Otherwise, there's no peak renter's season, so prices and availability don't fluctuate from month to month.
Looking for a Place
If you're looking for rental houses and duplexes for rent, you'll find that New Windsor has a large number of well-maintained mid-century homes, many of which have been renovated into rental properties. You'll also find a gratifyingly large selection of apartments, condos and townhouses for rent at a variety of price points. You can start your search by going online or by checking the local classifieds. It's also a good idea to drive around various neighborhoods, where you're sure to see rental signs.
Renting: The Necessities
You'll need all your basic identification, plus references (phone numbers will do) and proof of current or future employment. Don't be alarmed if the landlord does a credit check on you -- it's pretty standard these days. Have ready your first month's rent, plus a security deposit -- and you're all set to move in!
New Windsor has a huge architectural diversity in its neighborhoods, with large, turn-of-the-century Victorian homes vying for space with luxuriously-appointed contemporary houses.

Here are a few of the town's most popular residential areas:

New Windsor is an easy town to live and get around in. Weather wise, temperatures are relatively mild, with January highs around 40 and July highs only in the upper 80s. The area gets around 37 inches of snow a year -- not a great deal, but enough to stop traffic if there's a snowstorm, so locals learn to plan around it. As for getting around once you're here, you can give the car a rest and take Transit Orange buses or North Metro trains all the way into New York City.
Things to See and Do
One of New Windsor's most famous landmarks is the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor, which commemorates American veterans who were wounded or killed in battle.
