Montpelier Reviews
Rating 3.75 out of 5 20 reviews
A small Vermont community that definitely stretches the definition of city. Having lived here since I was six, there are definitely worse places to live. This 'city' is picturesque, fairly liberal, and offers that 'quaint Vermont charm' to tourists. However, it isn't nearly as liberal as it thinks it is, and offers very little to residents. In fact, it is so unbearably dull that almost everyone under the age of 35 here is desperate to leave. Really, the most appealing thing about it is the fact that we're the only state capitol that does not have a McDonalds.
A town of less than 8,000 residents with 3 independent bookstores, multiscreen Hollywood movie theatre, multi screen indie movie theatre, live professional actors guild theatre, lively night life with 5+ live music venues, Fine dining + affordable localvore dining, no fast food, top artisanal beer bar/restaurant on East coast, 3 fine artisanal bakeries, multiple aritsanal beer and spirits tasting breweries and wineries, localvore food coop, home made ice cream shop, excellent schools, independent and boutique shops, free live music on the green, free ice skating on the statehouse lawn, graduate level fine arts institution, mountain biking trails, friendly and engaged albiet northern New England taciturn neighborhoods, huge off leash public park, and they don't roll up the sidewalks after dark!
Montpelier is wonderful because of the strong sense of community. There are excellent events geared toward educating the community on sustainability, sexism, and racism. The school system will fight for its students. This town will make everyone feel like they have a place and that they are welcome!
