David Barger, CEO for Jet Blue airlines, recently told NPR’s Jeremy Hobson that, of all the destinations JetBlue flies to, Burlington, VT is his favorite.  When asked why, he said “You feel you’re really back to nature in a major way. It’s great quality of life in Burlington, Vt.”
I couldn’t agree more! It’s good national recognition for Burlington, and a reminder to those of us that live here that we are truly lucky to live, work and play in this spectacular location. I like to say we have a great lake in our front yard and great Mountains in our backyard. In between, where we live, we have world class culture: Flynn Performing Arts Center, top quality health care at Fletcher Allen (FAHC), and educational institutions that are ranked nationally (UVM). All this within an hour’s flight to major metropolitan cities.

I’m pleased to have a new listing at Overlake. This is the most sought after style, a first floor flat with a large full basement! These are very popular condominiums  because of their location in the Burlington hill section  across from the Burlington Country Club. Amenities include pool & tennis courts. Enjoy views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondack Mountains from this unit. Contact me today if you would like to see it!

Fun to see one of my listings, a beautiful home on Burlington’s waterfront, highlighted in a recent USA today article on Burlington, VT real estate. Click here for more information on the property!

I am proud to serve on the Board of Burlington’s Flynn Center for the Performing Arts. The Flynn is one of New England’s premier performing arts centers. It is also an architectural gem, a beautifully refurbished  art Deco theater which was awarded with an Outstanding Historic American Theatre Award in 2007.

This year, The Flynn welcomed a new Executive Director, John Killacky. John formerly managed the Arts and Culture Program for the San Francisco Foundation. He is a passionate promoter of arts & culture as essential ingredients to healthy, thriving communities. John  is off and running- I just came from our monthly board meeting and he is pushing all of us to  “think outside the box” and be creative. Whether it is with programming, fund-raising,  committee structure’s  or new ideas for development, John is bringing in fresh ideas, new energy and pushing all of us to reach for the stars!

The Flynn is lucky to have him!
