Chester, VT

Chester has a layout that sets it apart from most Vermont towns, functioning like three distinct historic hamlets in one. The community is anchored by three main hubs: the central Village Green, Chester Depot by the historic train station, and the Stone Village in North Chester. The Williams River winds through the valley, framed by views of the Green Mountains in the background. Because Route 11 and Route 103 intersect right in town, traveling between neighborhoods and commuting to neighboring areas is quick and convenient.

Each section of town has its own personality, giving residents plenty to explore close to home. The Village Green is lined with local cafes, independent shops, and welcoming inns, while the Stone Village showcases a rare row of stone homes built in the 1830s. For anyone looking to relocate, Chester offers a close-knit small-town setting with everyday conveniences, scenic walking routes, and quick access to nearby ski areas like Okemo and Magic Mountain.
