r/NewToVermont

I'll start by saying i have been visiting, camping, hiking, and generally being in vermont since i was 14 im 26 now. i work in aerospace and im quite well established in my trade soon i'll be going to college and stuff, but i want to live in VT, i understand housing costs in terms of apartments can be quite expensive depending on where you go, i understand harsh winters though i expect VT winters to be more challenging. i have read up on the challenges when it comes to finding healthcare if someone can elaborate with a personal anecdote that'd be dope. and to end off i love the communal vibe i've always gotten and how warm everyone usually is. ive looked at applying to GE, BETA technologies ETC. if anyone knows some more personal info on the manufacturing sector id greatly appreciate that.

thank you all have a wonderful day.

Job offer is in. If we make the move it'll be in the next couple months. We have to sell our home where we live to have a down payment to buy a house, and the housing available is insanely limited where we're looking.

We're probably going to have to rent for awhile first and then buy later. There really aren't a lot of family sized rentals available that I can see, especially for families with pets. Is there a typical time rentals become available? I live in a college town now and late summer is the only time there are options. Where we lived before rentals were January to December. What is the typical rental calendar in the outskirts of Burlington/SE of Burlington?

Another thought - when I used to be a traveling nurse we would rent out extended stay rentals. Is there a market for 2-4 month rentals in the area?

My wife and I are looking to move near the Montpelier area. Having had not such great luck with previous property management companies in the past, what are decent property management companies to work with and the ones we should stay away from entirely?

¡Hola! For a ton of reasons, my son (finishing his junior year in high school) and I are planning to possibly move to Vermont this summer.

I talked to someone at the Licensure office today about reciprocity and it seems that it exists between Vermont and New Mexico—yay! The issue comes with what I ask for as my endorsement.

Currently, I hold a Level II K-8 Elementary license, as well as a Level II Pre-K Specialty Area license. My current endorsements are: Bilingual Education, Modern & Classical Languages (Spanish), Language Arts, Social Studies, Reading, Library/Media, TESOL, Science, Mathematics and Business Education.

I am working as a high school librarian right now but I know those jobs can be hard to find. Coming from a desert, we’d like to live near some water but I am not too picky right now. I figure I need to get a foot in the door first, then figure things out afterwards.

We live in a rural area already. I’m originally from Chicago so I remember what cold is and how to dress for it. I own a Subaru and lots of flannel shirts . I am truly looking to make a true life change.

In your expert opinions, what endorsement should I choose first? What, among what I have, is the endorsement most likely to get me a job? Where should I look?

No matter what kind of issues there are in Vermont, there is no way it is worse or more difficult than where I currently live.

What is your best advice? Thanks!

Trying to determine what our actual cost of living would be before making the jump. How do utilities work? What can we expect for a 3-4 bedroom at the highest?

Just would like any thoughts and/or input on the village? Looking at land in the Upper Valley area and this town was on the list. Seems close enough to Lebanon for shopping and a night out for dinner but rural enough also.

Positives and negatives if any. I'm all ears.

Thanks!

A rare mix of seclusion and convenience. This 2 bed, 2.5 bath, 2160 sq ft home sits on 6.3 acres that feel like true woodland. The property holds winding ATV trails and deep privacy, yet the front door rests only a block from the center of town. Built in 2019, the house is energy efficient and filled with natural light. Tall windows, open rooms, and a modern layout give the interior an easy sense of space.

This house offers the freedom of land with the comfort of a neighborhood close at hand. You can spend the morning relaxing in your own woods with views of Mt Moosilaue, then walk to coffee, dinner, or the kid’s school without ever getting in the car. Hanover is 30 minutes away.

Hi everyone,

I will be moving to Vermont in August to begin my studies at the Larner College of Medicine. Does anyone have suggestions for affordable apartments to rent? I'd prefer to live alone and am comfortable with a studio. I'd also appreciate any advice on apartment complexes or landlords to avoid.

Thank you!
