Troy, VT

Located in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom right along the Canadian border, Troy is a quiet, rural town of around 1,700 people. The community is split into two distinct areas along the Missisquoi River: the smaller hamlet of Troy and the larger hub of North Troy to the north. Life here moves at an easy, unhurried pace, surrounded by rolling hills, open farmland, and the rugged beauty of northern Vermont.

North Troy serves as the town center, where you'll find the local elementary school, the Rand Memorial Library, and municipal offices. It's a close-knit area where neighbors know each other, and outdoor enthusiasts love being just a short drive from Jay Peak for year-round skiing, hiking, and biking. If you're moving here, you can choose between quiet residential streets near village amenities or larger parcels of land with river views, all at a relatively accessible price point.
