Low crime rates, amazing schools, and natural beauty everywhere you look make South Burlington a great place to put down roots. Adjacent to sister city Burlington, the personality of South Burlington is much the same—artists and naturalists abound in a slow-paced place that’s anything but boring.

 

With Lake Champlain to the west and Mount Mansfield to the east, residents are never short of options for outdoor activities. 

 

The South Burlington school district makes up for its small size with high-quality educational opportunities. A whopping 79% of its schools, pre-K through high school, rank above average—something the district’s roughly 2,800 students are sure to benefit from.—AS
