Why Live in Brattleboro
On the southeastern edge of Vermont, Brattleboro started as a trading gateway along the Connecticut River before developing into a bookbinding and pipe organ manufacturing town in the 1800s. Today, the small town of about 12,000 residents offers both an artsy and outdoorsy way of life. “We’re a service town for the more rural areas around our outskirts, and city folk have found us, so we’ve become more desirable,” says Christine Lewis, a local broker at Brattleboro Area Realty. “Our landscape is lumpy; we have hills and valleys that give us nice views and waterways. The town is well-laid out with nature preserves all around us, so we also attract outdoorsy and active people.” In addition to hiking trails and green spaces, this Windham County town offers ski slopes and boat ramps.
Brattleboro’s industry seamlessly transformed from industrial to creative, as more artists, musicians and authors moved to the area. Art galleries and music venues neighbor Main Street’s trendy boutiques and eateries. “We are considered kind of a hippie town. During the war draft years, a lot of young people with a conscience came to Windham College, which was a liberal arts college," Lewis says,
