Why Burlington?

Burlington has long been one of the most desirable places to live in Vermont — and for good reason.

Walkable downtown: With Church Street Marketplace, waterfront parks, and local shops, Burlington feels lively without being overwhelming.

Community-focused living: From farmer’s markets to local co-ops, Burlington’s neighborhoods are rooted in sustainability, community, and creativity.

Popular Neighborhoods to Consider

Each part of Burlington has its own vibe. Here's a quick breakdown to help guide your search:

The New North End

A family-friendly area with parks, bike paths, and more affordable homes. Close to the lake and downtown but with a quieter, suburban feel.

South End

Trendy and artsy, the South End is home to local breweries, studios, and converted industrial spaces. Expect renovated homes and vibrant energy.

Hill Section

One of the most established neighborhoods, featuring larger homes, historic charm, and scenic views. Popular with professionals and families.

Downtown / Old North End

More urban and walkable, with condos, townhouses, and investment potential. Great for buyers who want to be close to restaurants, nightlife, and the waterfront.
