Travel & Leisure Magazine votes Burlington Vermont as one of the coolest college towns in America. It’s just another reason Burlington Vermont real estate is so hot right now.

What makes Burlington the coolest college town? Maybe it’s the array of performers in the Church St Marketplace, the fact it’s a bike friendly city, or perhaps the various restaurants Burlington VT has in it’s roster. The surrounding Lake Champlain real estate can’t hurt too much either; a beautiful environment for students to study for their upcoming exams!

There are plenty of schools to chose from. Burlington VT colleges include:

  • University of Vermont – Vermont state college with engaging faculty and over 90 majors to choose from
  • Burlington College – Independent liberal arts college with a variety of unique programs

We all know that Burlington Vermont is famous for exquisite lakefront real estate with Adirondack views and incredible sunsets. But this fall, Sports Illustrated has given Burlington a new claim to fame: the site of the most ridiculous competition, the Burlington Vermont Giant Pumpkin Regatta.

Yes, it is a boat race, but each boat is a carved and decorated giant pumpkin, raced like a kayak. The Giant Pumpkin Regatta & Festival is a benefit for a youth leadership program for area high school students run by Linking Learning to Life and the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce
