    "This neighborhood is nice looking but there are some very disrespectful people. They send thier dog over to my yard to dump and will not clean up. The police can't be bothered even though there is a leash law. Town built a "pocket park" on private property which is now a drug deal location and dog toilet."

    "Chester is a lovely quaint town in southwestern Vermont. The village has stores and restaurants and a small grocer, but is close to Springfield with a larger grocery store. It is thirty to forty-five minutes to 5 major ski areas."

    "We've lived in the area for almost 10 years and in this location for 2. The neighborhood is beautiful. The town is a 10 minute walk away and has many great restaurants and shopping. Close to highway. Amenities include town rec-center, banks, grocery store, skiing, biking, and hiking trails close by. And the people are super friendly."
