Burlington, VT

Winner: Burbia's 1st 'Best Town' Competition

In Burbia's most recent competition, Burlington won more votes than its rivals -- Pittsfield MA, South Bend IN, Bend OR. Stay tuned for Burbia's next competition -- next week. SEND IN YOUR NOMINEES!

Meanwhile, congrats to Burlington.

Why the Best: Spectacular beauty, great arts & culture, in one of the most comfortable, laid back 'civilized' towns in America.

Burlington sits on Lake Champlain (awesome beauty, great boating, swimming, fishing). It's surrounded by the Green Mountains, offering the best in hiking, climbing, mountain biking, outdoor sports -- and minutes from the best skiing in the East.

But Burlington is way more than physical beauty and choice rec-activities. It's the home of the University of VT. It has tons of great galleries, restaurants, clubs. It's got an active music scene (home of the band, Phish, among many other artists). And the people are smart, thoughtful, friendly and very decidedly not uptight rat-racers.

People who settle in Burlington -- most anyway -- have their priorities straight. Many visited on vacation or other trips and decided simply to stay.

Burlington is Vermont's biggest city, with a lot of the positives that go with it, but it's truly a town (fewer than 40,000 residents). It's absolutely worth a visit, in winter or summer -- of course in the Fall the leaves are classic-gorgeous. And it is unhesitatingly a Burbia Best Town....read about other towns

Thank you Burbia. Burlington is one of the most unknown great places in America. We've lived here for 7 years. We used to live outside Chicgao. We love it. I don't want so many people to move here, but it's wonderful and special.

Nothing beats this place.

Nothing beats this place. I've lived in NYC, LA, everywhere. When I came here it all felt right. The town is mellow and soft. at same time it is full of life. Don't know what the Burbia honor means but we'll take it!

Grand Rapids, are you crazy? If you're going that route let's do St. Paul, Twin Cities.


We moved to Burlington last

We moved to Burlington last year from Philadelphia. It's like being in heaven!


Visit but don't live in Burlington, VT

- submitted by Burlingtonian on 08/04/2008

If the weather here were perfect everyday we would be crowded. The Vermont winters keep the lazy folks away. You have to put forth extra effort to survive comfortably. If you are an "A-type" person and measure your success in dollars earned or things owned you do not want to live here. They tried to start an exclusive golf club and years later an exclusive yacht club and not enough people were interested. Amen.


Love Burlington
