20 places
Stowe, Morristown, Johnson and Cambridge, plus Waterbury and Duxbury in the Winooski gap — a year-round mountain economy, not only a ski market.

55 places

22 places
Rutland City and the towns around it, the marble villages, Lake Bomoseen and the Poultney valley, plus the Killington and Okemo side of the Green Mountains.
37 places
Bennington, Manchester and the Battenkill on one side of the mountains; Brattleboro, Putney and the West River towns on the other — the closest Vermont gets to the Boston and New York corridors.

243 of 256 subdivisions open a Bean Group community page (reconciliation 2026-08-11.2). Barre, Newport, Rutland and St. Albans each have a city and a neighboring town of the same name. We currently publish the city pages, so those 4 town entries are listed without a link. A further 9 administrative areas — Vermont's unorganized towns, gores and grants — have no municipal government and no community page, so they appear here for completeness only. Listed without a link: Averill (Essex County), Avery's Gore (Essex County), Barre Town (Washington County), Buels Gore (Chittenden County), Ferdinand (Essex County), Glastenbury (Bennington County), Lewis (Essex County), Newport Town (Orleans County), Rutland Town (Rutland County), Saint Albans Town (Franklin County), Somerset (Windham County), Warner's Grant (Essex County), Warren's Gore (Essex County).
Counties
Counties do little governing in Vermont — the town is the unit that matters — but they are still how listings, land records and courts are organized.

Living here
Vermont is a town-by-town state. Zoning, schools, road maintenance and permits are handled locally, and two adjoining towns can feel like different markets. Chittenden County carries most of the state's jobs and its tightest inventory; the ski corridors trade on a seasonal, largely second-home calendar; and the Northeast Kingdom is a slower, more rural market where land, access and utilities matter as much as the house.
Away from village centers, plenty of Vermont homes rely on a private well and septic system, so ask early which utilities a property actually has and what documentation comes with them. It's also worth asking about year-round road access and whether the road is town-maintained or a private right-of-way, and about heating fuel and any buried tanks.
Before you write an offer, check the town's zoning and permit history, the current property tax picture, insurance availability and cost, and have a Vermont attorney review the contract and title. Local representation early makes all of that straightforward.
General guidance only. For requirements, costs and rules that apply to a specific property, check with your agent, attorney and insurer, and with the relevant town and state offices.
