Its name translates to the \u2018Green Mountain State\u2019, although throughout the year there\u2019s a real rainbow of colors as summer turns to fall and winter gives way to spring.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most interesting things about this quaint little state is its moderately low population, which right now is less than 625,000 people. To put that in perspective, the city of Philadelphia alone has over 1.5 million residents.<\/p>\n<p>Although this makes Vermont a quaint and quiet state, it is not without a distinct vibe all of its own, with small-town hospitality prevalent at every turn. If you\u2019re looking for an escape from the rat race, Vermont could be the perfect choice for those seeking a tranquil way of life away from the hustle and bustle of city living.<\/p>\n<p>But before you pack up your bags and hit the road, let\u2019s dive in and find out everything you need to know about moving to Vermont.<\/p>\n\n\t        <div class=\"conversation-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"conversation-item image-position-left clearfix\">\n\n                        <div class=\"th left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/isoldmyhouse_conversation-150x150.png\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n\n                        <div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"color: #006af8;font-size: 24px;padding-bottom: 20px\"><strong>Need To Sell Your Home Before Moving?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Did you know that we can help you save a lot of money when selling your house?

It\u2019s also statistically the safest state in the country, so wherever you choose, you\u2019re certain to be a winner.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at some of the best places to call home in the Green Mountain State.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Montpelier<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Montpelier is the capital of Vermont, but don\u2019t let that fool you into thinking it\u2019s all bright lights, big city. Montpelier actually has the smallest population of any state capital in the US, with less than 10,000 residents.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/montpelier-vermont.jpg\" alt=\"picture of Montpelier, Vermont, USA town skyline at twilight.\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/montpelier-vermont.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/montpelier-vermont-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/montpelier-vermont-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/montpelier-vermont-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For people who love a quiet life but still want plenty of entertainment options in a place with a small-town vibe, Montpelier could be a great option. The downtown area is a charming mix of historical buildings, quaint little book stores, and coffee shops, as well as interesting museums and galleries. There\u2019s a strong music and arts scene here for such a small place, with plenty of opportunities to catch live bands on the weekends.<\/p>\n<p>To add to its appeal, the Winooski River flows right through the heart of the city, and there are countless walking trails extending off into the surrounding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/moving-to-the-country\/\">countryside<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Although it\u2019s a relatively quiet town, that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t enough jobs. There\u2019s a low unemployment rate here, and a median income above the national average. The average home in Montpelier costs around $248k.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Burlington<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Burlington is the largest and most populated city in Vermont, so it makes sense that it\u2019s also seen as the most cosmopolitan place in the state.\u00a0 This energetic city sits on the shores of beautiful Lake Champlain, and looks like something straight out of a postcard.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a real vibrancy to this city, and during the spring and summer months, the streets come alive with colorful outdoor concerts and local festivals. The downtown area of Church Street Marketplace is full of historical buildings, interesting independent shops and restaurants, as well as plenty of bars offering live entertainment. Even though it may feel like traditional, small-town America, there\u2019s so much to see and do here.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of green spaces too, like Leddy Park, which is the perfect place for picnicking and family days out. There\u2019s even a beach on the shore of the lake, and countless cycling and hiking trails, making Burlington a great option for outdoorsy types.<\/p>\n<p>The school system is also well renowned here, so it\u2019s a popular city for families relocating to Vermont. Another bonus is that it\u2019s only 45 miles from the Canadian border, making day trips up there a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>Unemployment in and around the city currently sits comfortably below the national average, and there are several major companies providing ample jobs to the local community. The median home price here is slightly higher than Montpelier, at just under $300k.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/burlington-vermont.jpg\" alt=\"picture of Burlington, Vermont, USA at Church Street Marketplace.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1335\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31856\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/burlington-vermont.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/burlington-vermont-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/burlington-vermont-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/burlington-vermont-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/burlington-vermont-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/burlington-vermont-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>South Burlington<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>That brings us to South Burlington, which is, you guessed it, just a few miles south of its big brother Burlington. It\u2019s the home of the headquarters of the famous (and delicious) Ben and Jerry\u2019s ice cream, and also boasts Vermont\u2019s biggest mall, the University Mall.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s population sits right around 18,773 people, most of whom, according to census data, seems to be doing well. The unemployment rate here is consistently low, and the majority of residents own their own homes.<\/p>\n<p>South Burlington has a happy mixture of age demographics, with as you might expect, plenty of retirees, but also a growing younger community, with many young professionals moving in from elsewhere around the state and further afield.<\/p>\n<p>The area has a tightly packed suburban feel, with plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars, plus some wide open green spaces and well kept public parks. Despite the suburban landscape, it\u2019s also a relatively walkable city, meaning that there are quite a few opportunities to leave the car at home and take your route by foot.<\/p>\n<p>The median home value here is considerably cheaper than Burlington, at just $268k, making it a great choice if you don\u2019t mind a short commute into the larger city.<\/p>\n<a href=\"javascript:;\" class=\"sue-icon sue-icon-no-url\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333;margin:0px 10px 0px 0px\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:24px;line-height:24px;background:#ffffff;color:#ff0942;-webkit-border-radius:0px;-moz-border-radius:0px;border-radius:0px;padding:4px\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"ctalink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/sell-with-our-partner-agents\/\">We Negotiated Discounts With Great Agents. Find One In Your Area.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vergennes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The little city of Vergennes ticks a lot of \u201cboxes\u201d in terms of being an ideal location to move to. It sits between Lake Chaplain and the Green Mountains, and is close to the city of Burlington and the prestigious Middlebury College, making it both scenic and tranquil while having easy access to a wide range of amenities.<\/p>\n<p>The downtown area is a gorgeous mishmash of colonial buildings, cute little bars and restaurants, and independent stores. In the heart of the central zone is the beautifully restored City Hall and Vergennes Opera House, which was opened way back in 1897. Today, you can still catch a concert or movie here anytime throughout the year<\/p>\n<p>It may be small (just 2 square miles in size) but Vergennes was actually Vermont\u2019s first-ever city. This means the place is steeped in history and has many tales to tell from the past.<\/p>\n<p>The city has the 6<sup>th<\/sup> highest median income in the state, as well as an unemployment rate below the national average. A home here is much more affordable than the likes of Burlington and Woodstock, costing an average of around $220k.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jericho<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Named after the famous biblical city, Jericho is another great example of a typical, too-pretty-to-be-true, New England town. It\u2019s located close to Burlington, just 30 minutes away, so if the quiet life gets too much, you won\u2019t be too far from the action.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, there\u2019s still plenty to do in Jericho. There\u2019s a great selection of cute little cafes, bars, and restaurants, as well as some incredible hiking trails that extend into the surrounding nature. Jericho has three parks that are perfect for picnics and family gatherings. In fact, Jericho has been ranked as one of the best towns to raise a family in Vermont.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer months, there\u2019s an awesome farmers market where you can buy local produce and sample local delicacies such as farm fresh cheeses and of course, maple syrup.<\/p>\n<p>The unemployment rate here is the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> lowest across the whole state, perhaps due to its proximity to Burlington. The average house price here is currently $264k.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Woodstock<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Woodstock is easily one of the most picture-perfect towns in Vermont, and it\u2019s certainly one of the highest-ranked places to live in the state.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a little gem of a town, filled with old school charm that beats most places in the rest of the state. It\u2019s been named the \u201cquintessential New England village\u201d, and it\u2019s easy to see why. There\u2019s a classic Vermont style covered bridge smack bang in the center of downtown, and the streets are lined with beautifully restored Georgian and Greek revival homes. There\u2019s even a village green which serves as a meeting point in the middle of town.<\/p>\n<p>Woodstock tops the charts in Vermont in terms of the low unemployment rate and average annual salaries, and so it\u2019s also the most expensive place to buy a home in the state, with an average price of just under $400k.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/woodstock-vermont.jpg\" alt=\"picture of woodstock vermont\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/woodstock-vermont.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/woodstock-vermont-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/woodstock-vermont-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/woodstock-vermont-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Waterbury<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Waterbury is located in Washington Country, slap bang in the center of Vermont. The town itself also encapsulates a village of the same name.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s a super charming place to be during the summer, Waterbury really comes alive during the winter months, as it\u2019s located right on the edge of Vermont\u2019s ski country. There\u2019s a choice of several great skiing and boarding sites within a stone\u2019s throw of the town.<\/p>\n<p>Waterbury is also home to the Ben and Jerry\u2019s factory, so even if you\u2019re just stopping in for a visit, make sure you take a tour of this now world-famous ice cream mecca.<\/p>\n<p>Waterbury is such a peaceful little place that it boats one of the lowest crime rates in the whole of the state, making it statistically one of the safest places to live in the country.<\/p>\n<p>An average home here costs $234,100, so it\u2019s one of the most affordable places to live on our list.<\/p>\n\n\t        <div class=\"conversation-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                    <div class=\"conversation-item image-position-left clearfix\">\n\n                        <div class=\"th left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/todd-and-kristie-stone-hill-inn-square-1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                        <\/div>\n\n                        <div class=\"content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"font-weight: bold;font-size: 22px\">WE MOVED TO VERMONT!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>As born and raised Southerners, the prospect of moving to Vermont with 3 teenagers was ambitious to say the least!\u00a0 Add doing a complete Career Change for both of us, one might think we were crazy!

In fact, such a small population can be a good thing, meaning less competition, and can work in your favor when it comes to finding work.<\/p>\n<p>For example, Vermont has an impressively low unemployment rate of 2.8% which is considerably less than the national average. A strong indication that anyone with any talent is scooped up for work right away.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to pay, Vermont scores pretty high in that category as well. The state-enforced minimum wage is $10.50 per hour, which is well above the federal minimum wage, so it\u2019s an especially great place to earn money for those starting out in their careers or entering into low skilled work.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Top Industries across Vermont<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some of the most prevalent industries across Vermont are manufacturing and production related, especially in areas such as breweries, ice cream manufacturing (people love Ben &amp; Jerry\u2019s), logging, coffee &amp; tea manufacturing and of course, maple syrup, which is one of Vermont\u2019s biggest exports.<\/p>\n<p>Quick Breakdown of Top Industries (in no particular order, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/accd.vermont.gov\/sites\/accdnew\/files\/documents\/Appendix%20B-%20Economic%20Data%20Analysis.pdf\">Vermont.gov<\/a>):<\/p>\n<ul class=\"featureList\">\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Health Care<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Social Assistance<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Government<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Full service restaurants<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Educational services<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Professional, scientific and educational services<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Consulting and management<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Manufacturing and production<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Logging<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\">Breweries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/vermont-logging-industry.jpg\" alt=\"picture of Forestry worker with chainsaw is sawing a log. \" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31860\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/vermont-logging-industry.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/vermont-logging-industry-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/vermont-logging-industry-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/vermont-logging-industry-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Employers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The largest employer in the state is the University of Vermont in Shelburne, which employs a total of 5,380 people at last count.<\/p>\n<p>Coming in at a close second place is tech giant IBM, which is based in the village of Essex Junction.

These larger, newly built homes are taking over the majority of the 1980\u2019s builds, meaning prices are set to rise.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/how-to-buy-a-house\/\">looking to buy a house<\/a> in the main hub of the action, Burlington, then expect to pay more.

The great news is that renting in Vermont is pretty cheap, with a one-bedroom apartment in the hotspot of Burlington costing just $953 per month. That\u2019s way below the national average of $1220. Move away from the city and head over to smaller Montpelier, and a 1 bedroom apartment there costs an average of only $737 a month. Not bad!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Healthcare<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Healthcare is important, especially for those with families or who already have medical conditions to contend with. The good news is that health-related expenses in VT come in at 7.7% above the national average.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Utilities<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Utilities include heating, cooling, gas, electric, cable\/satellite and other necessities for running a home. According to data collected by BestPlaces.net, utility costs as compared to the national average come in at 17.4% higher.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Transportation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This includes public transportation as well as gas\/diesel. Those who normally spend a lot on travel and transportation can save big, with the costs of transportation in the state coming in at 22.1% below the national average.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Taxes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s no way to sugar coat it, Vermont\u2019s taxes are pretty high. In fact, Vermont is the state with the third-highest tax burden for its residents. Unlike some states, high earners are taxed much higher than low-income earners, so if you\u2019re not on a huge wage, there\u2019s probably not much to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>Property taxes are also pretty high, so make sure to factor this in when planning your home buying budget.<\/p>\n<p>There is a silver lining though; sales tax in Vermont is low, at just 6%. That\u2019s significantly below the national average.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Food and Groceries<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Food is a necessity we can\u2019t go without, making it a key component of budgeting for a new move. As compared to the national average, grocery expenses in Vermont are about 6.7% higher than the national average. Whether or not this will be an increased cost for you will depend on your current location.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/family_shopping.jpg\" alt=\"picture of Family with shopping cart in supermarket store\" width=\"950\" height=\"633\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/family_shopping.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/family_shopping-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/family_shopping-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/family_shopping-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Summary Regarding Expenses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Although the costs of many categories are higher, those that move here can expect to save a whopping 11.5% on housing and 22% on transportation, two very significant expenses that, coupled with competitive salaries in the state, can balance things out quite nicely.<\/p>\n<a href=\"javascript:;\" class=\"sue-icon sue-icon-no-url\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333;margin:0px 10px 0px 0px\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:24px;line-height:24px;background:#ffffff;color:#ff0942;-webkit-border-radius:0px;-moz-border-radius:0px;border-radius:0px;padding:4px\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"ctalink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/sell-with-our-partner-agents\/\">We Negotiated Discounts With Great Agents.

There\u2019s a real opportunity to enjoy outdoor living and embrace nature in places like the Green Mountains, Lake Champlain and, in winter, the many ski resorts.<\/p>\n<p>Many retirees will also love the slower pace of life that comes with living in a less populated state.

It\u2019s one of the few places in the US that hasn\u2019t been taken over by an abundance of fast food chains and Walmart stores. In fact, one of Montpelier\u2019s claims to fame is that it\u2019s the only US state capital without a McDonalds. Instead, there\u2019s a much bigger focus on local, independent businesses, which tend to thrive within the state.<\/p>\n<p>Vermont overall is a generally liberal and left-leaning state, which makes sense since Bernie Sanders held office as Congressman and Senator there for years. When it comes to social issues, Vermont is often at the liberal forefront. In 2000, it became the very first state to allow civil unions for same-sex couples, and later went on to legalize same-sex marriage in 2009.<\/p>\n<a href=\"javascript:;\" class=\"sue-icon sue-icon-no-url\" style=\"font-size:16px;color:#333333;margin:0px 10px 0px 0px\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:24px;line-height:24px;background:#ffffff;color:#ff0942;-webkit-border-radius:0px;-moz-border-radius:0px;border-radius:0px;padding:4px\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"ctalink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/sell-with-our-partner-agents\/\">We Negotiated Discounts With Great Agents.

Take a tour around the factory in Waterbury, and get a behind- the- scenes look into how it\u2019s all made. You\u2019ll even get to see the \u201cFlavour Graveyard\u201d, where actual tombstones memorialize discontinued flavors. Perhaps the best part of the whole tour is (you guessed it) the samples, which they liberally dish out.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cabot Creamery Visitor Center<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For another delicious sampling of Vermont\u2019s famous produce, head over the Cabot Creamery visitor\u2019s center, where you can learn all about their cheese-making process and taste their full range of cheeses alongside some special limited edition cheddars and other artisan products from the local area.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Brattleboro Farmers Market<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Vermont is full of farmer\u2019s markets, and the Battleboro Farmer\u2019s Market is one of the very best. Every week more than 50 vendors gather to sell their fresh, local produce. This is one of the best places to pick up some local maple syrup, as well as artisan dairy products, free-range meats and fresh, local eggs. Top off your visit by stopping by the historic Creamery Covered Bridge which is just next door.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Covered Bridges<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While we\u2019re on the subject, let\u2019s look at Vermont\u2019s famous collection of covered bridges. There are more than 100 of these mostly mid 19<sup>th<\/sup> century bridges dotted around the state, with the oldest one, Pulp Mill Bridge in Middlebury, dating back to 1820. The most famous and best example of these bridges is the Cornish-Windsor covered bridge that crosses the Connecticut River between Cornish, New Hampshire, and Windsor, Vermont. Spotting these landmarks adds a little more fun to any road trip through Vermont.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Middlebury Tasting Trail<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This 5 mile tasting trail takes you through the stunning scenery of the Green Mountains, while you sample wine, beer, and liquor from in and around the town of Middlebury. There\u2019s seven in total; Lincoln Peak Vineyards, Woodchuck Cider House, Otter Creek Brewery, Whistlepig Distillery, Stonecutter Spirits, The Appalachian Gap Distillery and Drop In Brewing. In order to make sure you don\u2019t miss out, consider visiting on a Saturday, when all seven producers are open at the same time. It\u2019s a great way to spend an afternoon, especially if you\u2019re not the designated driver.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rock of Ages<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This massive granite quarry is an incredible sight to behold, so incredible in fact that it was once used as a location for a Star Treck movie. After you\u2019ve seen the granite extracted from deep inside the earth in front of your very eyes, you can take a tour through the processing plant and see the granite transformed into various new forms. There\u2019s even a granite bowling alley to enjoy after the tour.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lake Champlain<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Lake Champlain is a huge, beautiful lake that spans across two states and even dips into Canada. Most of its 587 miles of shoreline is situated in Vermont, where visitors come in hoards to enjoy life by the water. It\u2019s a haven for kayaking, fishing, sailing and bird watching. The lake even has its own version of the Loch Ness Monster, a 20-foot serpent-like creature called \u201cChampy\u201d who may or may not be lurking in the deep waters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lake-champlain.jpg\" alt=\"view of Lake Champlain Vermont\" width=\"950\" height=\"706\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-31865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lake-champlain.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lake-champlain-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lake-champlain-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/lake-champlain-150x111.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Simon Pearce Ceramic and Glass Blowing Workshop<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>See talented craftsmen create works of art, blowing glass and sculpting ceramics in the basement of a restored 19<sup>th<\/sup> century mill.

Many locals say their two favorite seasons are fall, when you can witness the famous red and orange colors that blanket much of the state, and winter, when the snowfall across the rivers, lakes and mountains looks like something straight out of a fairy tale.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Less Traffic<\/strong> &#8211; One of the major advantages of living in a sparsely populated state is that you spend less time waiting in traffic jams. Even in places like Burlington, the largest city, being stuck in traffic for more than a few minutes is a pretty rare occurrence.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Less Commercialization<\/strong> &#8211; Although Vermont has a few big box stores, strip malls, and fast food outlets, on the whole, the state\u2019s focus is on supporting smaller, independent family-run businesses.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>One of the Safest States in America<\/strong> &#8211; Vermont has such low crime rates; it\u2019s consistently at the top of the charts for safety. This makes it a great place for families, retirees and pretty much anyone looking for a secure and safe place to live.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Low Housing and Transportation Costs<\/strong> &#8211; Those buying a home instead of renting may benefit most, as will those that typically spend a lot on transportation or commuting.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Low Unemployment Rates<\/strong> &#8211; If you\u2019re seeking employment or opting for a career change, VT has a lot of opportunities and a low unemployment rate that is favorable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul class=\"featureList\">\n<li class=\"cross\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Cold Weather<\/strong> &#8211; Though it makes for a great ski season, the temperatures can drop pretty severely during the winter months. Snowfall can be heavy, so be prepared to dig out your car and driveway at least a couple of times a year.<\/li>\n<li class=\"cross\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Higher Taxes<\/strong> &#8211; Income tax rates in Vermont are some of the highest in the country, and property taxes are also pretty high. Even social security and pensions are taxable in the Green Mountain State.<\/li>\n<li class=\"cross\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>No Major Airports<\/strong> &#8211; The only major airport in the state is Burlington, however, flights out of here are still pretty limited, with connections to only 11 Cities and Toronto.

Let\u2019s take a look at what Vermont has to offer.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"featureList\">\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>It&#8217;s against the law to take your clothes off in public, but leaving your house, car or place of work when you\u2019re already naked is totally fine<\/strong>. Apparently, some of Vermont\u2019s less prudish residents still take advantage of this weird law, usually during the warmer months.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Billboards have been banned in Vermont since 1968<\/strong>. Residents say they like keeping their landscapes free of all that advertising pollution, and we personally agree.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>It\u2019s illegal to paint a landscape during wartime<\/strong>. Lawmakers way back when wanted to avoid any gruesome scenes being passed down through history.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>It&#8217;s also against the law to paint a horse&#8211;even when it&#8217;s not wartime.<\/strong> Painting or disguising your\u00a0horse, as well as your donkeys or mules, is a no-go in Vermont.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>All residents must bathe every Saturday night in the city of Barre<\/strong>. Hopefully, they like to bathe on other days, too.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>It\u2019s illegal to ban clotheslines in Vermont<\/strong>. We\u2019re not sure how this law came about, but you can rest easy knowing you can air-dry your clothes whenever you choose to in the Green Mountain state.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Putting doves in the freezer is illegal. <\/strong>Although Vermont\u2019s hunting laws are pretty relaxed, if you\u2019re caught with a freezer full of doves you\u2019ll find yourself on the wrong side of the law.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>Women who want to get false teeth must have written permission from their husbands<\/strong>. We\u2019re guessing in the state that prides itself on \u201cFreedom and Unity\u201d, this one is never enforced.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\"><strong>It\u2019s illegal to buy alcohol at a liquor store with an out of state license<\/strong>. Visitors have to show a \u2018liquor ID\u201d if they want to buy booze. Luckily, bars and restaurants don\u2019t have this restriction, but it can take some visitors by surprise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Fun Facts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To wrap up our overview of moving to Vermont, let\u2019s look at some fun facts from the Green Mountain State.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"featureList\">\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">Vermont produces the most maple syrup of any state in the US. It\u2019s also totally delicious!<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">The workers at Ben &amp; Jerry&#8217;s give the leftover ice cream to local farmers who feed it to their pigs. The pigs, of course, absolutely love it, except for one flavor: mint and Oreo cookie. Apparently, pigs don\u2019t like mint, who knew?!<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">When you look at a ratio of cows to people Vermont has the most dairy cows in the country. That explains all the delicious cheese!<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">Rudyard Kipling lived in Vermont during the 1890s and invented the extraordinary game of snow golf.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">Up until relatively recently, if residents of Vermont wanted a photo card driver\u2019s license, they had to travel all the way to Montpelier.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">In the past, Vermont has been claimed by both New Hampshire and New York.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">Vermont was the only state in the country without a Walmart, that is until the first one was built in 1996.<\/li>\n<li class=\"tick\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12px;\">The state capitol building of Vermont, in Montpelier, is one of only a handful to have a real gold dome. A statue of Ceres sits on top of the dome.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/sell-with-our-partner-agents\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.isoldmyhouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/superhero_agent_incontent_right-1.png\" alt=\"picture of a superhero realtor\" width=\"750\" height=\"375\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56261\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Thoughts About Moving To Vermont<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Vermont is about more than pristine landscapes and tourism.
