Love a good ghost story? The village of Goshen, New York, is renown for the hanging of British Loyalist outlaw Claudius Smith. This ne'er-do-well raided the countryside of Goshen during the American Revolutionary War along with the Mohawk Indian Chief Joseph Brant. Clearly, that escapade did not go over very well. His skull is said to be buried somewhere within the walls of the historic Presbyterian Church.

The village of Goshen is settled within the greater Town of Goshen. It is also the county seat of Orange County, New York. Originally settled in 1714 with a population of just over 3000, it was finally incorporated in 1809. The village has continued to grow over the years to its current population of 5,454, as of the 2010 census. Boasting both a rich historical background, a mostly agricultural industry, and being just 50 miles northwest of New York City, the city gives residents easy access to both country and city.

Moving to Goshen

While there are definitely more homeowners than renters, it is not impossible to find an apartment for rent in Goshen. Carriage Hill Luxury Apartments are conveniently located on Woodhills Drive just a short distance from Route 17 North, Interstate 84 and the Metro North Rail Line. These spacious one- or two-bedroom apartments for rent come with all utilities paid and also include many of the amenities you would want in your own home, including laundry facilities. You won't have to give up the modern conveniences you've come to expect, and the rates are also quite reasonable for the area. In fact, you might even get a bit giddy when you hear that both your heat and hot water are included in the rent for lots of places. If you want a condo, a duplex, or something bigger to rent, contact your local real estate agent and be persistent in your search. In either case, you will have to provide all the usual information before you are approved as a tenant. This includes proof of identification and employment, current credit history and a couple of reliable references.

Speaking of schools, if you need to check out what Goshen has to offer in this department, you'll be happy to know their schools have an extremely high graduation rate.
