For comparison. Same price point. Vermont. Water view.

Twice the size. Twice the acreage.

Yep.

Btw, a bit off topic but.., Why do realtors not lower the toilet seat when taking photos? Why do owners look at that picture and say “looks good to me.”

But in Vermont. Beautiful but no jobs.

Depends on your line of work

I'm an oil man I'd kill it in VT. My wife works remote like a lot of people do nowadays

If you work remotely, Vermont is going to be an issue with internet access. According to the broadband locator, you’ve got mostly satellite or low speed wireless internet there.

We are spoiled in RI that way, which is the most connected state — every single address here has access to at least one high speed broadband provider. It’s one reason I live here.

This house has the option for t mobile 5g 182 mb down 😂

I guess work from home is out

I wouldn’t trust T-Mobile’s promised speeds, especially in rural Vermont. Their coverage maps are… “optimistic.”

Or at the very least I’d make an offer on the place contingent upon 5G actually working there.

I'm sure it works for 5 minutes at a time. I lived in rural VT we had satellite and it sucked.

Some people are employed there so “no jobs” isn’t quite accurate but yeah, employment is worth setting up before the move.

They don’t have the proximity to a major city that we do with Boston, so there’s no spillover effect that keeps people employed the way we do.

Plus there, you’re only 1 hour from Montreal! Great food, drinks, culture, world class stuff. In SK you’re 90 minutes from Boston, which is…..

Montreal has great direct flights, right?

Sunsets over the water.

Privacy.

Back up heat with a wood stove if power goes out.

Three season porch - add a pullout couch for a 3 season spare bedroom.

To Europe yes, Burlington has good airlines too, it like flying out of PVD. Lake Champlain is absolutely beautiful too. Only draw back, it gets so much colder up there 🥶🥶🥶

It does. I kind of like snow rather than brown if I’m going to be cold anyway though but those Vermont winters sure are looonnnggg.

Truly beautiful. I hope someone who moved here from NYC or NJ sees it and it leaves. Sorry, not sorry. (You've caused a lot of problems here, already).

It is fucking FREEZING up that far north. We visit the NEK area a lot, and it’s MUCH colder than here. Also, there’s no ocean and nowhere to work.

Edit: it is currently -13 f and 14mph winds in Alburgh for context
