Thanks for the interesting, complex and honest information. Needless to say for many people, petty crime, drug use and high taxes are deal killers. Several years before retirement here, yet I look at houses in the general New England area. I remember one fine older house on a decent amount of acerage for a very reasonable price, thinking this is right for me...until I looked at the tax bill. Another serious issue is how often I see a house listed for $289,000.00 and the dump is worth more like $50 to 75 thousand.

Thanks for your videos; they're very helpful! Curious about whether Stowe is a good place to live for a young family (with a toddler) vs say living in Burlington and just visiting Stowe. What do you think? Maybe you could do a video on this?
@LivinginVermont Жыл бұрын
Hey Madeleine, you're very welcome! Stowe is a great town, but for young families I probably wouldn't recommend it honestly. Home prices are just too high for most young families, and about 70% of homes in Stowe are second homes. Vacation towns usually aren't the best for raising a family. Although I'm sure it's not a bad place to do so, Waterbury would be a better option, or the Burlington area, both of which if you can afford it. I don't recommend Burlington to most people, or if I do only select neighborhoods due to higher crime. Most of the towns around it are great but you probably won't find a great house for under 400k in any of these towns we've mentioned. Farther away from these popular cities/ towns are more affordable areas which can still be great for raising families, but they'll just be more remote. It depends what you want in an area and in your town, and your budget. I will probably do a video on Stowe before too long... it's busy season is approaching!

I absolutely love Brattleboro, Vermont. I lived there for eight years and definitely plan to come back to buy a home. Also, on another note, I wish I hadn’t been watching this at this time as when you said you are not likely to get murdered in Brattleboro hit me pretty hard, especially since a friend of mine was murdered Brattleboro in April of this year. Additionally, I would add Newfane and Putney to your list. There are really nice homes there as well😊
@LivinginVermont 10 ай бұрын
I'm sorry to hear that about your friend! No one should have to go through that. I don't keep up with all the crime happenings but I did hear a lady was murdered in a homeless shelter there which was very sad earlier this year. I just Googled it and it was in April so I'm guessing she was the one. Thankfully it's not a very common occurrence and hopefully it stays that way, as places like Burlington have seen a large increase of violence recently. 😕 Reach out in the future when you decide to move back, I'd love to help you find a place!

Another great video on Vermont! Please don't think that the scourge of opioids in general and fentanyl in particular, is hitting just VT. It's everywhere. A little more concentrated where Interstate highways run, so I think that would explain the higher rates in Brattleboro, and all the way up the CT Valley. Here in Ogden, Utah, they are collecting the bodies of overdose victims on the streets many mornings. We are at the confluence of I-15 (Los Angeles) and I-80 (San Francisco to Chicago).

Franklin county is about to be under the “no longer affordable” category. For those hoping to relocate to Vermont, be prepared to pay a MINIMUM of $350,000 to find a livable home not out in the boonies. Also for outsiders to consider is the property tax sticker shock. Taxes will be at least $6,000 annually for that house price.

I'm currently homeless in Florida (due to hurricane idalia). I'm disabled and need to find a place. I feel like Vermont could be a great alternative while living in my car for the foreseeable future. Does anyone know of a social services organization I could get in touch with to find out if it's possible to find a shelter, medical treatment, and mail. I want to work, but the program to help me was cancelled. I still receive medical services, but my hopes to support myself have been considerably affected by my loss of shelter. It's very dangerous to live in my car in Florida. Everyone is telling me that it's a tragedy this happened to me because I'm such a good person. Before I was hit with my disability, I helped with hurricane relief efforts when panama city Florida go demolished by a hurricane. I used my vehicle to transport goods from 3 hours away with my own money. On arrival, I helped charities and community organizations provide shelter, food, and supplies to the dislocated people trapped in the tent city. Now I'm in a similar situation with no real idea what to do now. I was really looking forward to the job training program.

Homeless in VT won't be very enjoyable, especially in the cold months.

It's not so bad, we have the 2nd highest homeless ratio in the state because we give out free housing in the winter...

Sad to hear that VT has turned into a drug mecca. Quite sure it is either Fentanyl or meth. Combine that with strict gun laws restricting long guns to only 10 round magazines and you create a haven for Fentanyl and meth-heads. Back in the late 60's through the mid 70's, VT was my stomping ground and the most problematic drug was "ditch weed", or crappy Mexican pot full of seeds, sticks and stems.

Unfortunately, like so many states Fentanyl has really invaded. Likely due to increased border crossings and less and less rules and strict punishments for the dealing offenders. Just yesterday, I read they're trying to ban "assault rifles" what a joke. Also doesn't help that Vermont gives the homeless so many handouts they keep coming from other states...

Why are you emphasizing crime while trying homes? It sounds like you are trying to drive people away from the state. btw I have lived in Vermont for 74 years.

Because I like to give both sides of the story, not just pretend like every town is a bundle of roses. Vermont is pretty safe, but I like to give people an honest overview so it's not a surprise after they move there that the town has higher crime than most Vermont towns.

The drug problem is not that bad in Rutland. Way under most places in the US. People that say this have never moved out of Rutland or Vermont and haven't seen a real drug problem. Compared to the rest of Vermont it might be up there but Vermont's a unique place with a lot of small rural towns. The truth is there is a drug problem everywhere even the smallest most isolated towns anywhere in the US its just how much housing and how dense the town is to make it noticeable.

So in a previous video of your preparing for a winter in Vermont,I listened to and payed attention,so I did the same thing going into this video, but the problem is ,does these numbers make sense to you,think about it #facts population 6,429 unemployment 8.7% poverty 24.3% median home $188,600. Median income $36,090, I don’t mean to say it doesn’t make sense on a national average, but you have to admit these numbers are shocking,I happen to be a native of this land,way before these laws.

Wanted to get my first house in Burlington due to some of the job opportunities there. After seeing how expensive it's getting, I'm considering Brattleboro. Stressing about if the prices will go up soon over there as well. Almost seems impossible to plan getting a house these days.🥲
@LivinginVermont Жыл бұрын
Burlington prices are pretty crazy. I grew up in Addison County but ended up buying a house in Washington County largely due to how much farther money goes here. Brattleboro prices and all VT town prices (less in the NEK) have gone up quite a bit in the past few years, but the towns on this list, including Brattleboro are definitely the most affordable. I'd be happy to help you find a place if you do end buying in VT. 😊
