Southern Vermont Living -
4/1/2009Vermont is a beautiful place to live if you love long, cold, snowy winters, mud season, hot summers and picturesque fall color. There are 4 very definite seasons here. But combine this with a high cost of living due to taxes, the housing market, and fuel costs with only an average pay scale and sometimes you feel like Vermont life can be a struggle to stay ahead.
There is definite small town charm and everyone knows everyone here. Dummerston is a very desirable place to live just outside the larger town of Brattleboro being only 10 minutes away. Dummerston has only one Elementary school that is know for its good academics and sports teams which consists of grades K-8. There is little to no night life but there are some very nice charming restaurants and wine bars in downtown Brattleboro nearby. A great place to raise a family if the higher cost of living and change of seasons is what you are looking for. A bit boring for the college age however!
