Who Should / Shouldn’t Move to South Burlington
South Burlington genuinely fits movers whose priorities align with its real strengths -- a genuinely high-income Burlington-metro suburb with strong schools, a real, growing aerospace/healthcare/tech employer base, genuinely cheap homeowners insurance, and short commutes -- more than movers chasing the lowest possible property tax rate or a guaranteed noise-free environment.
