Reply to comment by Away_Papaya_1875 in Trying to get out of the red south, hoping to end up in Vermont. by Away_Papaya_1875

Maybe for a small 1 bedroom or studio; the closer to Burlington, the more it will be. I live in South Burlington, and we got really lucky years ago when we started renting our very under market house that could easily go for $500 more a month than we pay, had the landlords been more experienced. That is literally the only reason I can afford to live in SB. A lovely community, but I just saw a townhouse on the market for close to $700,000. A TOWNHOUSE. No land. Not on the lake.

I don't know if you'll be looking to rent or buy, but I recommend keeping an eye out on Zillow to see what's actually out there and if that aligns with whatever salary range you're realistically expecting once here.

That’s enough to buy a mansion where I’m at!

I’ll have to go through some Zillow listings later today, thank you again!

You better have deep pockets. It's everything is expensive here and the jobs generally pay way less. I was making 1/2 I would have anywhere else. The feds keep bumping up the COL allowance for the Burlington area.
