Learning more about Life in Vermont

Vermont is home to a diverse collection of communities, but the crown jewel of the Northeast is Burlington, where geography, culture, and history come together to create a very special place. It's easy to see why Burlington Vermont Real Estate is some of the most sought-after in all New England.

A Dynamic Business Environment
Burlington’s entrepreneurial spirit is very much in evidence: well-known organizations like IBM, Pizzagalli Construction, Fletcher Allen Health Care,  GE Healthcare (formerly IDX Corporation), BankNorth Group, General Dynamics, Bruegger's Corporation, St. Michael's College, Husky, and Ben & Jerry's create a wide variety of employment and business opportunities.

Summer in Vermont
Burlington’s position on the shores of Lake Champlain (sometimes called America’s 6th Great Lake) provides a wealth of recreational opportunities: sailing, swimming, water-skiing, scuba diving, and paddling. In addition there are bike paths, trails, and parks if you’re keen to hike or cycle. Wherever you look there are fantastic views of the brilliant blue lake surrounded by gently rolling hills.

Winter Fun
In winter we’ve got a completely different set of recreational opportunities, most of which take advantage of our generous annual snowfall. With just a short drive skiers can visit some of the very best resorts in the East: Stowe, Sugarbush, Bolton Valley, and Smuggler’s Notch. If you’re interested in cross-country skiing, you can find excellent trails in the immediate Burlington area. You might also search out our ice rinks or snowmobile trails or bundle up for some ice fishing. 

New England in the Fall and Spring
Fall means apple picking, leaf peeping, and fantastic views. Drive country roads to search for antiques. Drink hot cider and eat spiced doughnuts in the cool, crisp air. In the spring Vermonters make jokes about Mud Season, but you just might catch them by the side of the road admiring the fields and mountains as they come alive with brilliant bursts of color.
