Just chiming in with whatever info I can, the Burlington metro area includes the entirety of Chittenden county and beyond. I’m fairly certain all of Franklin and Grand Isle counties are included in it. Beyond those, lots of people live in Lamoille, Washington, and Addison counties and work in Burlington/Chittenden County.

Chittenden is where the jobs are, but it’s also where the affordable housing isn’t. I’m almost certain you can’t find what you’re looking for in Chittenden county. But you may be able to if you expand the search to whatever you consider an acceptable driving time and distance from Burlington. Granted I still don’t really think it’s likely to find something, but it’s less impossible at least.

Best of luck and hoping you find what you’re looking for and something that meets your needs.
