Centered in our beautiful green mountain state, Rutland offers an abundance of opportunity, community, and accessibility for anyone considering calling it home. Within the community, you'll find beautiful architecture, restaurants, various public events, the state's largest year-round farmers market at the city's center, along with nationally registered historic buildings and strong support for small businesses. If you're going to take a stroll around town, one small business to check out is the Speakeasy Cafe, where you can grab a specialty coffee drink or delicious breakfast sandwich.

If traveling to and from larger cities is a concern, the Rutland Central Vermont Regional Airport offers three flights a day into Boston for under $50 and will have you there in under an hour and a half! The local Amtrak station services Montreal, Albany, and can get you to New York City through the scenic Hudson River Valley on the Ethan Allen Express in under 6 hours.

The central location also makes it easy to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. Do you like to go hiking, camping, skiing, or even admiring picturesque views? Lucky for you, it's only 5 minutes to Pine Hill Park, less than 20 minutes to Killington Ski Resort and Pico Mountain, and 1.5 hours to Burlington's Waterfront Park. Rutland also offers easy access to Vermont's Long Trail system all year round.

In addition to Rutland City Center, the roughly 15,000 residents also call the two neighboring municipalities, West Rutland and Proctor, home. Combined, they support various commercial properties, residential dwellings, and vast farmland on about 12,000 acres. Rutland City School District is a public school district with roughly 2,130 students in grades PK and K-12 with a student-teacher ratio of 10 to 1. The low student-to-teacher ratio enables educators to empower students, foster community, and engage their diverse student body with comprehensive and engaging curriculums. 

Due to the city's efforts to bring more businesses and entrepreneurs to the area, Rutland is ripe for professional and economic growth. Check out great opportunities from Rutland Regional Medical Center, GE Aircraft Engines, Vermont Electric Power Co., and the local ski resorts.

If you are looking for a spot that can balance urban convenience with outdoor enjoyment, this is it.
