Nice, friendly town, but many residents have lived here their whole lives. There are always families moving in and out and plenty of kid-friendly activities. This is also an amazing town for people with dogs!
Burlington is a safe and tolerant town with friendly people, an excellent public school system, some very beautiful neighborhoods and parks, abundant work and shopping opportunities, several very good restaurants, lots of history, and an unbeatable convenient location just 12 miles outside of Boston, half an hour to New Hampshire and an hour's drive to the Maine border. The biggest drawback is the cost of housing which continues to rise, however, the tax rate of the town is relatively low compared to other towns in Massachusetts because the town has reserved approximately 25 percent of its total area for businesses and commercial purposes, including the Burlington Mall, which is arguably the best retail mall in New England. I've lived here for more than 20 years and feel lucky to be a part of this community.
I have grown up in so many parts( cities and towns)of the USA: North side Chicago ,Evanston ILL.,Northbrook ILL,Larchmont, NY(2)places in town, Cohasset, Mass (outside of Boston south shore,Beacon Street,Off Charles Street, Boston, Arlington, Mass.,Lexington, Bolton, Burlington Mass. South Bend IN.
I went to 6 grammer schools and three high schools.
Burlington since 1995 has every thing you could possible want in the Boston area, Schools ,University, High Teck Industry
