Norwich

• Town in Vermont
• 7 reviews

Current Resident: A lovely residential town with a rural feel yet still close to more populated areas where there are shops and things to see and do. Friendly, quality people. Great schools. Beautiful surroundings with hiking, trails, kayaking, and other outdoor activities in our backyard. Quiet small town feel.

Hartford

• Town in Vermont
• 4 reviews

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.

White River Junction

• Town in Vermont
• 11 reviews

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 reviews

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: It is decent to live here, not much happens. at all, really. There is lots of corn and many cows live here. There are also lots of graveyards, and many people believe their houses are haunted. Not a bad place.

Perkinsville

• Town in Vermont
• 14 reviews

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.

Hartland

• Town in Vermont
• 4 reviews

Current Resident: Fantastic place to raise a family. Never at a loss for outdoor activities. Plenty of new restaurants in the nearby area. Schools are good and you can decide where to send your child to high school which is an enormous perk. Two hours from Boston, two hours from Burlington, 3 hours from Montreal. Two to 1.5 to 2.5 hours from 4 airports. Not a very culturally diverse area of New England but more so than 10 years ago. Country living with all the amenities.
