West Brattleboro, VT

Set in the foothills of the Green Mountains just a few minutes west of downtown, West Brattleboro offers a quiet, relaxed village atmosphere along the winding Whetstone Brook. Home to around 2,700 residents, the area has a distinctly laid-back feel, featuring a mix of classic New England homes, small local businesses, and nearby family farms. The historic Creamery Covered Bridge, built in 1879, sits right along the main road as one of the neighborhood's most beloved landmarks.
