Situated less than 10 minutes from the Orange Regional Medical Center in Middletown, N.Y., Southgate Middletown has become a popular residential address for the many student resident, doctors, nurses, and others relocating to the historic Hudson Valley to work at the state-of the-art hospital.

Such was the case for Lisa and Peter Romoff and their dog Ollie.  The couple had been enjoying the bright lights of Manhattan in an Upper East Side apartment until Peter was assigned to Orange Regional Medical Center for his residency in internal medicine.  With the primary condition they wanted to stay close to the medical center, the former New York City residents began a search of apartments in Orange County that offered the kind of luxury, space and amenities that fit their lifestyle.

“We researched apartments and single-family homes that were closest to Orange Regional Medical Center, including Sterling Parc at Middletown,” Ms. Romoff says.  “We came across Southgate online.  When we visited, the price for the amount of space, the luxury looks and style of the homes and the amenities immediately sold us.”

One- and two-bedroom apartments at Southgate Middletown feature high ceilings, soaring living spaces and some of the largest layouts in the Orange County marketplace.  Residences are lined with designer finishes including wood grain cabinetry, quartz countertops, oversized subway tile backsplash, stainless appliances and contemporary luxury flooring.

“The interiors are expansive and have a modern look with updated kitchens and in-unit washers and dryers,” Lisa continues.  “As an added bonus, our home also has a private balcony and enclosed garage parking.”

Their stylish apartment is perfectly complimented by a comprehensive amenity package, Ms. Romoff adds.  Recreational and social offerings at Southgate Middletown include a lavishly-appointed 3,251 square-foot clubhouse with state-of-the-art fitness center with spin, cardio and weight equipment, furnished event lounge, shuffleboard table and media room with six 70” televisions.   Adjoining the clubhouse is a spectacular outdoor pool.

“The clubhouse and the pool have allowed us to meet a lot of people around the complex,” Ms. Romoff says.  “The staff here is friendly, accommodating and very responsive.  The community is also very safe and it’s great to live in a pet-friendly neighborhood. Our Southgate experience has been very positive and we’re incredibly pleased with our new apartment!”
