Burlington Real Estate and Community

The Greater Burlington area is Vermont's major economic and metropolitan center and contains some of Vermont's finest homes. Situated on Lake Champlain with views of the Adirondack Mountains, Burlington VT offers a wealth of cultural activities, lovely Victorian architecture, and a well educated, vibrant community. Here life takes place on a human scale. It is possible to buy Burlington real estate within walking distance of concerts and the University of Vermont, or to opt for a short commute to a pleasant suburban neighborhood.

Recreation

The Lake Champlain region provides a variety of recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. There is fishing, sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, tubing, and scuba diving available in the summer. In the winter you can enjoy many activities including cross country skiing, skating, ice fishing and sleigh rides. The Burlington waterfront park area makes summer activities easily accessible to all with an eight mile bike path that curves along the lake. Runners, bikers, rollerblades, and walkers use this path throughout the milder seasons of Northern Vermont. Within an hour's drive from Burlington are world-class ski areas: Stowe, Sugarbush, Bolton Valley, Smugglers' Notch, Jay Peak, and Mad River Glen. These recreational factors combine to make Burlington one of the best areas to search for a Vermont home.

Shopping

Historic, award-winning Church Street Marketplace is nestled in the heart of downtown Burlington and is the focal point of the downtown commercial area. Whether you're out for a casual stroll or serious shopping, a scrumptious snack or truly fine dining, you'll find it all within four architecturally-historic blocks. Restaurants, street vendors, and more than 100 retail shops give Vermont's favorite pedestrian mall a distinctive flair.
Immediately adjacent to the Marketplace is the Burlington Town Center, downtown Burlington's premier indoor shopping center, featuring an exciting mix of locally owned and national retail stores.

A Quality Of Life

Burlington has the distinction of being voted one of America's most livable cities by the National Conference of Mayors. In addition, Burlington has been rated one of the safest cities in America.
