Five dimensions StaySTRA evaluates per market.
Market Overview
Newburgh is a historic Hudson River waterfront city in Orange County, New York, about 60 miles north of New York City, anchored by Washington’s Headquarters State Historic Site, a revitalized waterfront dining and marina scene, and Hudson River cruises. Orange County recorded a record $1.32 billion in visitor spending in 2024, and the wider Hudson Valley saw roughly $5.45 billion, though no city-specific visitor count for Newburgh itself is published. The city’s population is about 28,181, and visitors skew toward regional drive-market culture, history, and food travelers, plus business travelers given proximity to Stewart International Airport and the I-84/I-87 corridors.
Short-term rental performance data in this data set is tracked at a submarket level shared across a 14-city Hudson Valley and Catskills cluster, so the figures below describe the wider Newburgh area STR market rather than city-limits-only precision. In June 2026, the most recent month with complete data, the area’s average daily rate across all listings was $335.28 at 51.30% occupancy, generating average monthly revenue of $4,487.39 per listing. Occupancy is up 2.15% year over year, ADR is up 2.77%, and monthly revenue is up a strong 9.13% year over year.
Bedroom mix, listing-type mix, channel mix, and market-score data in this data set are tracked at a shared regional level rather than measured uniquely for Newburgh, so this profile omits those figures rather than present regional numbers as if they were city-specific. Booking data for the area shows an average lead time of 55.61 days and an average length of stay of 3.74 nights, consistent with regional weekend trips from the NYC metro area.

Short-Term Rental Regulations
Short-term rentals are legal in the City of Newburgh but carry two main compliance tracks. On tax, effective April 1, 2023 under Local Law 1-2023, overnight stays at short-term rentals are subject to a 5.00% City hotel room occupancy tax, in addition to the existing 5% Orange County occupancy tax, for roughly 10% combined. Airbnb collects the county’s 5% on the host’s behalf, but registering for a Certificate of Authority and remitting the separate 5% City tax quarterly is the operator’s own responsibility.
On licensing, City Code Chapter 240 requires owners of rental property to obtain a rental license and pass code and safety inspections. An application must be filed within 30 days of assuming ownership, with fees set under Chapter 163. Owner-occupied buildings of two or fewer units are exempt from the filing fee but must still apply for the license.
No clear STR-specific zoning overlay, ban, or density cap was located in available sources, and no annual night cap, owner-occupancy mandate, or primary-residence requirement specific to STRs was found. Investors should separately confirm whether a given property falls within the City of Newburgh or the surrounding Town of Newburgh, since these are distinct jurisdictions with different rules; this summary covers the City specifically.
Enforcement is rated moderate and active on both the rental-license and tax-registration sides, so operators should treat both as mandatory rather than optional.
Market Comparison
The Newburgh area’s 51.30% occupancy in June 2026 runs slightly below the roughly 55% median occupancy typically seen across the broader U.S. short-term rental market, while its $335.28 average daily rate is well above the roughly $220 national median ADR. This combination, below-average occupancy but well-above-average rates, reflects a market built on regional weekend and cultural-tourism trips from the NYC metro rather than steady year-round demand.
Top property manager data in this data set is tracked at a shared regional level across a 14-city Hudson Valley and Catskills cluster rather than uniquely for Newburgh, so this profile does not present specific operator names, listing counts, or ratings as Newburgh-specific. Newburgh’s own regulatory environment is a more distinctive local factor: a 2023 city hotel occupancy tax layered on top of the existing county tax, plus a jurisdictional split between the City and the surrounding Town of Newburgh that buyers should confirm before purchasing.
