WARNING Very Expensive Void Surrounded by Rocks... - 3/24/2006
DON'T WASTE BIG BUCKS TO MOVE TO ROCKS! OK I have lived from California to Maine to Key West to Tucson, visited places all over the world, and finally moved to a state, county, and city that are so pathetic in almost every category that I had to post this warning--I have hated every second living in New York, Orange County, and Newburgh. Moving here from Nashville and living across the street from the Mayor of a teenie village has me and my cats and my friend running back anywhere South of New York! Should have stayed in Tennessee. This place easily climbs to the TOP of the worst places I have lived in my life. CLIMATE: It has the beautiful scenic mountains for a few warm months and that's it. The rest of the year all you see is bare sleeping trees amongst the icy rocky slopes because it snows on Thanksgiving and on the first day of Spring too. So, Winter days of 30 degrees are basically 8 months here, so if you like equal seasons then stay South unless you like Winter all the time!

Not for everyone - 10/6/2005
I have lived in NY my whole life, have traveled extensively. Orange County NY is not for everyone. Very very short summers. Cabin fever is a definite. You can spend weeks were you dont even see your neighbors! Horrible winters. Lovely views and overall safe place to live. But it is getting to be very expensive. Everything is a 20 minute drive away. Hardly no culture, the little that there is is very bohemian, country, redneckish...no technology jobs. Biggest employers are the jails, hospitals, and retail shops. Malls all over the place. If you like the country quite life than it is for you but if you like to have a life and not feel like a hermit. DONT COME
