| The summer is moderate in both summer and winter, thanks to Newburgh's location on the Ohio River. The temperature in the winter usually doesn't dip below freezing and there is almost no snow accumulation. The temperature in the summers rarely goes above the mid-80s and while there is the occasional severe storm, they generally only happen every 4-5 years. The most recent storm was an F4 tornado that hit nearby Evansville. | | Serious crime is almost non-existent in Newburgh. The town is primarily tourist-driven, so most of the crimes tend to be simple thefts and burglaries. Newburgh feels extremely safe when you visit and it has a local reputation for being a very safe place to live. Many people still leave their cars unlocked at back doors open in the summer, which is pretty unusual behavior nowadays. | | The best part of town is the area surrounding Main Street, particularly the parts that have undergone a redesign that accentuated the town's rustic antique look. The houses are a mix of older Victorian houses and newer townhomes and houses that are designed to look new. The worst part of town is probably the northside, which has older housing and is the part of town with the most crime, although in the case of Newburgh, worst is a relative term. The northside has several mobile home developments and a number of older ranch houses. | | Newburgh is a mix of middle-class residents who commute to nearby Evansville and long-time residents that cater to the antique and tourism trade. Overall, the town feels young and hip without the rural atmosphere you might expect to see in a town with so many antique stores. While there is a portion of the population that works in the service industry, more than half the population is married families and that affects the feel of the town. It might not be the best place for singles, but it is a great town to raise a family. |

| Cafe Arazu is a upscale Mediterranean restaurant that is one of the best in the area. Tin Fish is also very goo and its menu focuses of fresh Seafood. | | The school system is a small one, but it has a local reputation for being one of the best in the state. It offers a wide range of individualized educational options and career paths for students interested in learning a local trade. | | There aren't a lot of opportunities for singles. The town is dominated by families and there are few local watering holes targeting singles. | | Jeffersonville, Indiana is a town of about 40,000 that is located up the river from Newburgh. While Newburgh is a small tourist town, Jeffersonville is the site of a large census data center, which employs a number of townspeople. It is also the site of a new bridge connecting Indiana and Kentucky, so it is a better fit for someone looking for a traditional bigger city experience. Henderson, Kentucky is across the Ohio River from Newburgh and it is best known for being one of the centers of the tobacco trade a hundred years ago. Henderson's economy and its population are still dependent on small manufacturing, as well as corn and soybean production. |
| Tourist attractions | | General comments | | | | |
| The riverfront area has recently been made over and it offers wonderful scenic views of the Ohio River and the surrounding hills and valleys. The row of small shops along Main Street also is a popular tourist location. | | It's friendly and laidback in that stereotypical Midwestern way. It's a small town, in that everyone seems to know everyone else. But because a fair number of people commute into Evansville, the town is very open to newcomers. In that way, it's the best of both worlds: a small town setting just a short drive away from a progressive larger city. Newburgh feels like one of those small towns you read about in books. It's picturesque, friendly and comfortable. | | | | |
