South Burlington, VT

Long thought of as a suburb of Burlington, South Burlington has been making strides in developing its own image. Finding an apartment here will land you in the graces of a thriving community.

The schools here are some of the best – and there’s more than enough opportunities for shopping, dining, and outdoor recreation. Nestled on the shores of Lake Champlain, South Burlington offers the convenience of city life and small-town charm.

Vermont’s largest mall, University Mall, is located here. The shopping destination offers shoppers a variety of retail stores, plus a movie theater and casual dining. Dorset Street is another shopping district, hosting an array of shops like boutiques and specialty stores.

Red Rocks Park is located on the shores of the lake, covering 100 wooded acres that are open year-round for visitors to hike, snowshoe, picnic, whatever. You’ll see a great sunset there, and afterward, you can head down to Magic Hat Brewing Company for locally made libations.

South Burlington has its own nightlife scene. Higher Ground is a popular music venue featuring world-class bands, dancing, and cocktails. If you’re more into pool than large crowds at clubs, Vermont Pool and Bar has tons of pool tables.

When you live in a South Burlington apartment, you’re conveniently located to Interstate 89 and Interstate 189. Students of South Burlington will enjoy the quick drive to the University of Vermont and Champlain College. Traveling abroad? The Burlington International Airport is right in your backyard (but not literally).
