2003 Dorsett St

Midway between Winston-Salem and Raleigh (roughly one hour’s drive to each), Burlington is an all-American community that looks fondly at its history while always working toward an even better future. In addition to the woodlands all around the city, several community parks and outdoor recreation areas provide ample opportunities for sports, hiking, swimming, boating, and more. Burlington City Park’s beautiful antique carousel is one of the city’s major landmarks, and forms the centerpiece of an annual music festival.

The community has done a lot of work to make the downtown area something special, with historic buildings, great locally-owned shopping and dining, and a 15-square-block area with free public Wi-Fi access. Downtown apartments have direct access to all of this and more within walking distance. The collaborative spirit runs deep in Burlington, and residents have no shortage of opportunities to take an active role in their community.
