Old North End is an energetic neighborhood near downtown and UVM
The Old North End, also called the ONE by locals, may be Burlington ’s oldest neighborhood, but its proximity to downtown and the University of Vermont (UVM) attracts a younger crowd. North Street and Winooski Avenue are the neighborhood’s commercial hubs, featuring diverse restaurants and stores. Downtown Burlington offers more nightlife within walking distance, and lakefront recreation is nearby. Home prices here trend lower than the city’s median, and multifamily buildings help make the area renter-friendly.

Turn-of-the-century homes go for lower-than-average prices
North End's historic homes here sit close together along narrow streets. “It’s primarily turn-of-the-century, early 20th-century construction,” says Liam O'Reilly, a Realtor with Geri Reilly Real Estate who’s sold homes here since 2020. “Even the multifamily properties used to be larger single-family homes that have been converted.”
The median home sale price is in the mid-$400,000s, lower than Burlington’s overall median and the median downtown, but higher than in the New North End. You can typically find:
Single-family homes ranging from the upper $200,000s to the mid-$600,000s
Multifamily properties ranging from the mid-$400,000s to the lower $900,000s
