Live in the heart of the Queen City of Hudson Valley

Urban Riverfront Public Transit Historic Affordable

Poughkeepsie, known as the Queen City of the Hudson River Valley, is a historic city in New York State. Its charming downtown district boasts a variety of small businesses and local restaurants. But the best part of Downtown Poughkeepsie is by far the beautiful views of Hudson River!

The Chance Theater and Mill House Brewing Company are two perfect examples of local gems in the Downtown community. This 1912 theater hosts concerts and live performances, so be sure to catch a show after you find your apartment in the city! Afterwards, grab a house-brewed beer and absurdly good pub fare at this local brewery set in a renovated mill.

On Main Street, just off of Hudson River, residents appreciate the access to the train from Poughkeepsie Station, along with public bus stations around town. From Irish pubs and pizza places to trendy eateries and casual dining, Downtown Poughkeepsie has it all in the Hudson River Valley.
