    "Nice area with good neighbors, but it’s hard to find a home for sale at a reasonable price. I appreciate that we’re close to everything - downtown Burlington, South Burlington shopping, and I-89. It’s beautiful, too - just a couple blocks from Lake Champlain. "

    "Folks tend to tailgate pretty bad, and road rage is increasing as more out of staters move to vermont. More traffic, so more incentive to take public transit. Roads need a lot of help. Commute to surrounding towns takes little time if it’s not rush hours."

    "Being the oldest and most diverse neighborhood in Burlington, the Old North End lends a unique charm and character to the city. The Queen City would be sorely lacking without this neighborhood. It can be loud and some of the buildings can use some TLC, but those are the most minor of qualms and should be expected in any city neighborhood. McMansionville this is not, thank goodness. "

There is a grocery store, hardware store, pediatricians office, kids dentist and a could restaurants within a five minute drive (15-20 min walk). And the elementary school is just around the block. "

    "It’s a family friendly neighborhood close to everything! It’s unique in that there are 3 bike paths including trails that lead to lake Champlain which is only about 5 to 10 minute walk! Take another short walk to Ethan Allen park or cross country ski there in the winter including a wooden bridge that leads to Ethan Allen homestead. Enjoy craft beers at the simple roots brewery which is literally a 5 min walk. "
