Burlington is a diversely populated city surrounded by beautiful geography and steeped in  arts and culture.  Burlington is a lively 'college town' home to the University of Vermont and Champlain College. The city hosts one of the largest year-round Farmers Market in the state.

Located only 100 miles south of Montreal and a little over 200 miles north of Boston, Burlington is close enough to major metro areas while still offering the fresh air Vermont is known for! Close proximity to the interstate and Burlington International Airport make the city incredibly accessible.

"Burlington has it all... a brick pedestrian marketplace, Vermont's iconic white steeples and rolling hills that spill down toward a lively, green waterfront on Lake Champlain."
