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.

Leddy Park in Burlington is located right on Lake Champlain, a perfect spot to enjoy the beach.

Cozy townhouses, forested family homes and waterfront estates

Potential homebuyers in Appletree Point may first notice the peaceful, lazy streets surrounded by trees and a short walk from most front doors to Appletree Bay. Large Colonial-inspired or New England-style family homes often back up to a thick line of trees. Though the peninsula is considered small, single-family properties benefit from front porch patios, wide driveways and spacious backyards. Those looking to buy one of these larger dwellings may find them at prices between $550,000 and $900,000. For something a little smaller, cozy townhouses in the Cumberland community may have attached single-car garages, private patios and plenty of storage space, often costing between $450,000 and over $575,000. Homes on the water are priced higher for their views of the bay, spacious lawns and sometimes ladder access to the water. Waterfront properties on Appletree Bay can cost between $975,000 and over $2 million, while a select few on Starr Farm Beach Road may cost a bit lower, between $500,000 and $650,000.

Innovative Burlington School District schools and programs

Appletree Point falls within the Burlington School District, rated an overall B on Niche, and the No. 13 best school district in Vermont. For kindergarten through fifth grade, students may begin at C.P. Smith Elementary School, which is graded a B. Lyman C. Hunt Middle School, rated a B-minus, has a wide range of after-school clubs and activities including music, dance and STEAM programs. Burlington High School is graded a B-plus and is rated the No. 9 best high school in Vermont on Niche. In 2020, the high school campus was condemned due to toxic chemicals, so the school was transferred to the former Macy's department store downtown. The store was converted into a unique and exciting experience for many students, who would now take escalators upstairs to their classrooms and eat at the Michael Kors Cafe by the former makeup counter. Students will remain at Macy's until the issues at the original campus are resolved.

Burlington High School, temporarily located in downtown Burlington, serves grades 9-12.

Solar powered innovations in Appletree Point

Appletree Point shares space with a large solar panel field off Sunset Cliff Road. Originally proposed in 2014 by the Burlington Electric Department, the solar field is about 20 acres large. Though some were initially worried about the size of the project, the area now benefits from the field's ability to power hundreds of homes with clean, renewable energy.
