2018 Best Places to Live in Windsor CountyAbout this List

Norwich

• Town in Vermont
• 6

Current Resident: Norwich is a great, happy little town. The school is good and there are a couple nice restaurants. Although there's not much to do, Norwich is fun and happy. Most residents work at Dartmouth or the hospital and everyone there is super friendly. I'd say the worst about is the weather when it's not winter or summer. It rains 24/7 and there is mud EVERYWHERE. Besides that, Norwich is great!

Hartford

• Town in Vermont
• 4

Niche User: It was a great place for me to grow up as a child because of the low crime rates and overall safety of the are. It is a very close knit community where almost everyone knows each other. Crime has been increasing due to more drug use in the area but I believe it is being handled in a proactive manner. I am going to be going to college about 45 hours away from here and it is much like where I currently live. After college, I would consider finding a place to live around here because I do think it is a good place to raise children, it has quality education, and is in close proximity to my parents and where I grew up.

Weathersfield

• Town in Vermont

Current Resident: It is a beautiful little town. The downfall is that everything is being moved to, or centered around, Ascutney. Perkinsville used to have a little general store, post office and town offices. Now the store is closed, the post office was moved to a newer spot, and town offices are in Ascutney.

White River Junction

• Town in Vermont
• 10

Current Resident: White River is a cute little town that is sorrounded by big green mountains. The community is not rich, but people still care for each other. White River has gone through some ups and downs, but it is getting better all the time. Down town White River has grown in so many ways. There are many coffee shops and restaurants that line the streets like never before. People care about health and taking care of their bodies. Health is a big deal to most everyone who lives in White River. White River is put on the map because of the rail ways that it offers. People who travel don't have to only go to Burlington to travel White River also offers this travel as well! White River is a little town that will one day go big if we only have a little faith. A little faith goes a long ways.

Windsor

• Town in Vermont
• 4

Current Resident: School and sports program is great! Town itself is a little boring, but luckily the upper valley is right next door for entertainment and jobs! People are kind, and there are some very lovely restaurants in town. Pizza chef and Frazers are good quality food, at very reasonable prices. My only recommendation is to stay away from what's known as "J street" its the "bad part of town" that every town has. Not big, not dangerous, just not the ideal street to live on. Other than that Windsor is a great town to raise a family in. I highly HIGHLY recommend their school system and sports programs. The community is very involved and it is a quality environment.

Current Resident: Chester is a lovely Vermont town, but there's not a lot of job opportunity, and commutes to jobs and shopping is long.

Springfield

• Town in Vermont

Current Resident: Springfield used to be a very up and coming town filled with factories. Since the factories have closed it has left a lot of abandoned and run-down buildings. I personally would like to see new life breathed into those buildings.

Perkinsville

• Town in Vermont

Niche User: I like that there is clean fresh air and not a lot of traffic. There are some local things to do like the movies or bowling but not a lot. I enjoy fishing, biking and hiking but I wish there were more things for teens to do like dance clubs. I know that my town is very small and there is a lot more to do in bigger cities like museums, arcades, theatres, and sports clubs, but I like the safety and cleanliness of where I live.

Ludlow

• Town in Vermont
• 2

Current Resident: I have lived in Ludlow, Vermont for 17 years. There is no better place to grow up in my opinion. With a ski mountain in your backyard the opportunities are out there for people of all ages. There are always jobs available around here and a good handful of restaurants that are run by locals. The atmosphere that the locals create is definitely full of love and you can tell when you visit this town.

Hartland

• Town in Vermont
• 3

Current Resident: My experience in Hartland has certainly had a positive influence on my future. I have met friends, made a positive and lasting impact on the community and have connections that will be with me for the rest of my life. The people are friendly and, being a small town, I know many community members and feel comfortable with the people around me. The school system is a thriving, very driven and hopeful school with the clear intention of getting children ready for High School.
