New Windsor sits in the heart of the Hudson Valley on the Hudson River, giving multi-week travelers a pleasant mix of riverfront parks, West Point cultural events, lively craft brewers and restaurants, plus easy outdoor escapes like Storm King Art Center and the Hudson Highlands.
Within about 20–65 miles you can reach Poughkeepsie (Metro-North access, dining and shops) or New York City for weekend culture and nightlife, so you get a quiet small‑town base with fast options for bigger-city things when you want them.
