Fortunes Point Up for Future Residents of Northwoods Apartments

By Jeffrey Steele, Contributing Writer

Orange County, N.Y.—Orange County, N.Y. residents seeking apartment homes close to work, recreation, shopping and public transportation won’t have to look far come this winter. That’s when the initial phase of 28 one- and two-bedroom garden-style apartment homes at Northwoods, a new apartment community in the Hudson Valley town of Wallkill, is made available for rent.

With an array of recreational and fitness amenities on site, Northwoods promises to deliver a fulfilling lifestyle to both single professionals and married couples with children, according to Jack Linefsky, vice-president of property management for the Value Companies, the nearly six-decade-old Clifton, N.J. real estate development, investment and management company serving as the developer, owner and manager of Northwoods.

Singles and families alike “will find Northwoods offers exactly what they desire in a home,” Linefsky says. “Homes include all the modern touches they seek, and amenities will offer recreation right outside their doors. What’s more, our location is minutes from the bustling Middletown business district. Major highways and public transportation allow for quick trips to countless business and entertainment centers.”

The Northwoods community itself features amenities appealing to active residents, including a fitness center and half basketball court to a playground. The apartments also benefit from the nearby parks and recreational settings, including the Town of Wallkill Golf Club, a public course.

The setting allows for less active pursuits as well. The Hudson Valley’s myriad cultural and historical attractions include performing arts houses, wine making operations, history museums and a wide-ranging array of retail venues, among them the Galleria Mall situated just minutes away. In addition, Northwoods’ proximity to Rt. 17 and the New York State Thruway makes commuting to jobs in northern New Jersey and Manhattan convenient. For commuters, the Metro North Railroad is another commuting option.

Those moving to Northwoods will have a range of housing choices as well. Northwoods is comprised of seven buildings, and will eventually feature 70 apartments. The 800 to 1,100-square-foot apartment homes offer fully-equipped kitchens; individually-controlled central air conditioning and heat; walk-in closets; in-unit washers and dryers; and balconies or patios.
