About Bennington

Bennington serves as the primary hub of southwestern Vermont, tucked into a scenic valley right between the Green Mountains and the New York state line. With around 9,000 residents living in the main town center, it offers a welcoming, small-town feel with easy regional connections to both the Berkshires and the Capital District in Albany.

The central downtown area is walkable and practical, featuring local diners, shops, grocery stores, and community services centered along Main Street and North Street. The Walloomsac River runs along the northern edge of the neighborhood, while historic Old Bennington and the famous battle monument sit just up the hill to the west.
