Burlington, Vermont combines small-city charm with natural beauty along the shores of Lake Champlain. The heart of downtown features Church Street Marketplace, a four-block pedestrian mall where local shops and restaurants create an inviting atmosphere throughout the year. The Burlington Bike Path traces the waterfront and connects to the Island Line Trail, extending into Lake Champlain on a historic railroad causeway. The rental market reflects strong demand, with current average rents ranging from $1,752 for studios to $2,068 for one-bedroom apartments, while larger units can command up to $3,417 for four bedrooms. The Hill Section stands out with its historic architecture and tree-lined streets near Champlain College, while the South End district features renovated industrial spaces housing galleries and studios.
Burlington serves as home to the University of Vermont and the UVM Medical Center.
