Housing prices are higher than average for Burlington
The median home sale price here is in the lower $700,000s, much higher than Burlington’s overall median and that of the neighboring New North End. Most homes cost between the lower $700,000s and $1.1 million. “The lakefront homes on the beach start at $1 million for something that needs renovations,” says Kathleen OBrien, a Realtor with Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty who’s sold homes in the area for 27 years. “It’s so expensive because you have a sandy beach. It literally has white sand. That’s why the neighborhood is popular.” Townhouse-style condos typically cost between the mid-$400,000s and mid-$600,000s.
Appletree Point includes ranch homes with open layouts and shaded yards.

Driving downtown can take around 15 minutes
North Avenue is the main thoroughfare in this part of the city, and Downtown Burlington and the University of Vermont are around 5 miles away. “Sometimes that can be a drawback of living out there because even though it’s mileage-close, you kind of have to weave to get there,” O’Brien says. “We’re spoiled up here for commutes. If it takes us more than 20 minutes to get anywhere, we think it’s far away. On a day with traffic or bad weather, it’s going to take you 20 to 25 minutes, but with no traffic, it’s 10 to 15 minutes.” Cyclists can get downtown via the Burlington Greenway, and the Green Mountain Transit bus stops along North Avenue. Burlington International Airport is an 8-mile drive away, which takes at least 20 minutes.
