Base housing here is pretty interesting. There are so many different neighborhoods and different types of houses, and much of it depends on your rank, bedroom requirements, what?「どィび「s available, etc. Because there isn?「どィび「t a whole lot of room for housing here, a lot of the homes are some sort of multiplex, there are only a handful of houses on base that are single family homes. Parking is also an issue here, so a lot of homes will only have one stall garage, if that, and a lot of the parking is on the street. They have one neighborhood of new homes that are really nice for officer?「どィび「s, and they are building new homes from senior enlisted, as well. Most all of the homes on the base have been remodeled or updated, or are in the process of being remodeled. And they all at least look nice, from the outside. Many of the houses are historic homes, so they can?「どィび「t do a whole lot of change to them. With the prices of homes and rentals in this area, and the proximity of some of the towns, though, a lot of people would rather live in base housing here than live off post. For living off post, the town of Highland Falls is right outside the Thayer gate. Some areas I would stay away from, and rent is usually pretty steep since it?「どィび「s so close to the base. The area of Cornwall/ Cornwall on Hudson is one of my favorites, but it?「どィび「s smaller, and rentals in the area can be hard to find and pricey. Newburgh isn?「どィび「t too far away, but you couldn?「どィび「t pay me to live there. Shopping in the town isn?「どィび「t bad, but I just got lost in the city limits and thought I was going to get shot. Crime is horrible there. There is a distinction between the town of Newburgh and the city of Newburgh, but it?「どィび「s all the same school district and too close for my comfort. The area of Central Valley/Monroe is pretty nice, and the school districts are some of the best in the state. Fort Montgomery is close to the base and small and quaint, as well as New windsor and Vail?「どィび「s Gate.
