Appletree Point in the North end of Burlington offers a wide variety of townhomes and houses.
A quiet waterfront neighborhood next to bustling Burlington
Tucked into Burlington's New North End, Appletree Point is a waterfront community on Lake Champlain. Less than 5 miles from the city and only about 20 minutes from the University of Vermont campus, the Burlington International Airport and Burlington Waterfront Park, residents enjoy all the convenience of being near the city but without the hustle and bustle of daily life there. This quiet peninsula houses a mix of large family residences on the water, forested inland lots and cozy townhouses. With its own fire station, locally owned shops and restaurants on North Avenue and access to public parks and beach access points, Appletree Point is one of the more exclusive-feeling locations in the Burlington area.
Scenic views and nature trails in Appletree Point
"All of Appletree Point is very close to the Burlington Greenway, our 8-mile multi-use recreation path, which runs the length of the city and is part of the larger Island Line Rail Trail, connecting north through Colchester all the way to the Champlain Islands," says Max Madalinski, the Parks Project Coordinator for Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront. "Our department owns and manages Appletree Park, which has some recently renovated tennis courts, a playground, basketball courts, and a ball field." Residents should be aware that, due to a high groundwater table, the soil at Appletree Park can be very wet. To the north of town, Starr Farm Park borders the bay and features wooded trails, a dog park, a playground, and sports fields. Next to the dog park is a vast community garden nestled behind picturesque red barns and horse corrals. For a day by the water, Leddy Beach has a sandy shore, barbecue grills and sports fields. Right at the park is the Gordon H. Paquette Ice Arena for indoor skating or hockey games.

Students will remain at Macy's until the issues at the original campus are resolved.
