Richmond, VT

Set along the Winooski River between Burlington and Montpelier, Richmond offers classic Vermont charm with a quick, convenient commute. Interstate 89 and Route 2 pass right through town, putting Burlington's job market, medical centers, and airport about twenty minutes away. Even with that easy highway access, Richmond maintains a quiet valley feel surrounded by wooded hills, river bends, and preserved farmland.

The walkable village center on Bridge Street is the social heart of town, lined with favorite local bakeries, casual restaurants, and a bustling library. Down by the water, Volunteers Green hosts summer farmers markets, youth sports, and easy river access, while the historic 16-sided Old Round Church stands as the town's most recognizable landmark. Between backyard skiing at Cochran's, great hiking trails, and well-regarded local schools, it is an exceptionally welcoming community for new residents.
