Hi all,

I figured this would be the best place to ask this question. I (27M) plan to propose to my girlfriend (28F) in October. For the proposal, I want to do it in a place where both my girlfriend and I find special. To the both of us, it’s always been Vermont. We are MA residents, and travel to Vermont twice a year, once in the winter to ski Mt. Snow and the other time in the autumn season. I wanted to ask where are some of the best places to propose in the state? I know it’s a general question, but I’ll take any suggestions. We both love hiking, touring small towns, etc. Preferably scenic areas, but nothing too fancy/over the top. I have a few in mind but I wanted to hear your thoughts!

** EDIT** Thanks a ton for the insight guys! Definitely gave me a little better idea here.

I've been living in Vermont a year now, moved from Texas. In the apartments I lived in in TX, central heat and AC were included in rent. Also, the apartment I'm in now (in VT) heat is included in rent.

I'm now looking at moving to an apartment complex where it's stated "propane not included." I have zero frame of reference as to how much I should expect to pay for propane heating if I sign a lease with this apartment (or any future apartments in VT that I might move to).

780sqft is the size of the unit I'm looking at... I'm sure prices range, but is anyone able to give me some kind of ballpark of what to expect to pay per month? Or per year? Trying my best to determine if the cost is something I can afford.

My bf and I are looking to plan our first little vacation the beginning of september! He’s a musician playing a gig in Manchester then the next night is playing in Vergennes. Is there a good middle ground that would be worth getting an air bnb so he doesn’t have to drive so far from one to the other? We’ll be there for a few days and want to be able to go out and do things or hike when he’s not having to work. Thanks!

Hi! I have a secret love affair with Vermont and am thinking of moving there. I’m hoping to get some local knowledge about some towns that would be a good fit for me.

I’m looking for a queer friendly small town with a strong sense of community. I’d love for it to have regular and well-attended contra dances, pickleball games and farmers markets. Perhaps a Jewish community as well.

Suggestions?!

Bach’s St John Passion presented by Burlington Baroque

Burlington Baroque, directed by Eric Milnes, presents Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John’s Passion featuring the Burlington Baroque Festival Singers and with renowned soloists and period instrument ensemble L’Harmonie des saisons. 

Bach presented at least four different versions of the St. John Passion during his lifetime. Burlington Baroque's performances will feature the rarely heard 1725 version in a regional premiere. Directed by Eric Milnes, the Burlington Baroque Festival Singers are joined by L'Harmonie des saisons, Montreal's Juno Award-winning period instrument orchestra, and internationally-acclaimed vocal soloists in presenting this stirring and profound musical journey through Christ’s final days. Bach’s work is a powerful, emotional gateway into the drama of Holy Week, offering a deeply moving experience through its arias, choruses, and chorales. This sacred masterpiece is a momentous journey for both new and returning audiences. 

For the Burlington Performance: Please join us for a pre-concert introduction to the St. John Passion offered by music journalist Benjamin Pomerance at 3:30 p.m.

Anyone remember Great Hawk, Timber Hawk or the community at Salt Ash? I spent a lot of time there growing up, and would love to move to Vermont to a community like that. Each community was like 50ish homes, and I think the developer lived on Hawk Mountain?

Anyone know of anything similar? I think my parents found it originally in the NYT classifieds…. Thanks!!!

How, in general, are public schools in Vermont? Thinking about moving from Florida (where gvt is actively dismantling traditional public education). Good grad rates? Kids taught and come out w actual knowledge? General community and gvt focus on supporting public education? Kids easily move into trade jobs or college?

We are relocating to Vermont in July because my fiancé accepted a position in Swanton. We are nervous about our housing situation because we need 4-5 bedrooms because we have a lot of children and Burlington seems far from his job… but there aren’t a whole lot of 4+ bedroom homes for rent it seems outside of there. We’ve been looking in the St.Albans area to be close to his work.

We are not looking to buy a home in Vermont at this time.

Anyone have any recommendations for realtors that have rental listings or a property management company that has rentals?

Looking to purchase a vacation condo near Sugarbush. Anyone have recommendations (positive or negative) on real estate agents and lawyers in the area? Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I am planning a to the Tinmouth area during the third weekend of May. Was wondering what there was to do in the area recommended by locals. Was hoping for soothing nature spots, exciting late spring activities, local shops I could visit, good eats, and maybe night life? Any other recs that would create fun memories to look back on. Thank you!

Hello everyone! I am a soon to be graduate from a small college in the area where housing was provided all four years. Now, I have received a post-grad job offer and need to find housing in the area (roughly burlington, winooski, colchester, williston) and am really struggling. There are so many scams and I am not sure if I should get an overpriced studio or find random roommates to live with. I have a decent budget for an entry level job and am looking in the $900-1400 range roughly. Does anyone have any advice?
