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
Larger apartment buildings ranging from $1.1 to $2.8 million
Townhouses and condos ranging from the lower $200,000s to the mid-$400,000s

With brightly painted historic homes, locally owned businesses, and downtown and UVM within walking distance, Old North End has a funky, urban vibe, attracting a blend of college students, young professionals and long-time residents. “Old North End is the heart of Burlington,” O’Reilly says. “A lot of people who work downtown live in the Old North End, and then as you get closer to UVM, the neighborhood switches to more college students and college housing.” The community comes together every year at The Ramble, a festival with live music, vendors and yard sales.
