Port Jervis — A City With Serious History
Port Jervis has a history that most people in the region don't fully appreciate. The Delaware and Hudson Canal, completed in 1828, ran directly through here — a critical artery that moved coal from Pennsylvania's mines to New York City before the railroad age. In 1851, the Erie Railroad line through Port Jervis carried the first presidential passenger train in American history, when President Millard Fillmore traveled through on his way to Dunkirk, NY.
That deep railroad and industrial heritage left a physical mark on the city that's still visible today. Port Jervis is home to the largest working rail turntable in the United States — a functioning piece of infrastructure that draws rail enthusiasts and history buffs from across the country. The city's built environment reflects that history: over 54% of its housing stock predates 1939, the highest concentration of pre-war homes in our entire service area.

The Most Affordable Market We Serve
Port Jervis is also the most affordable housing market in our service area. With a median home price around $248,000 — well below the Orange County average — Port Jervis attracts first-time buyers, retirees on fixed incomes, and families looking to maximize their square footage. The city received a $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative grant in 2024, signaling a serious public investment in the city's future.
For buyers moving in, affordability often means older housing stock that carries real moving challenges: pre-war staircases, smaller doorframes, basements with low clearance, and exterior access that hasn't changed since the 1920s. Spina's has moved furniture out of these homes hundreds of times. We know how to assess access and plan accordingly — no surprises on move day.
