The community offers both a trendy and family-friendly vibe
Close to Downtown Burlington, South End has an artsy feel, where residents are more likely to rent and are within walking distance of nightlife. Farther south, the neighborhood takes on a more suburban vibe. “It’s probably the most self-sustaining, diverse and family-friendly area in Burlington,” says Tamar Bouchard, a Realtor with Northern Vermont Realty Group and life-long Vermonter. “You're also farther away from the University of Vermont, so you don't have that college town feel.”
How much it costs to buy a home in South End
You can find rental properties, single-family homes, condos and townhouses in South End. The median sale price here is in the upper $500,000s, higher than Burlington’s overall median and the median in Old North End, but lower than in the nearby community of Hill Section. “It’s competitive,” says Liam O'Reilly, a Realtor with Geri Reilly Real Estate who’s sold homes here since 2020. “The neighborhood aspect of it, while still being close to Church Street and Pine Street, makes it a desirable part of town.” Homes include a variety of early- and mid-20th-century styles, including Dutch Colonial, American Foursquare and ranch-style builds.
The cost to buy in South End varies widely:
Single-family homes generally cost between the upper $400,000s and the lower $900,000s.

You can get downtown by foot, car, bike or bus
Depending on where you live in South End, you might be within walking distance of downtown or a 10-minute drive away. “A lot of people who go to UVM or work at the hospital will take the bus in because there’s not a lot of parking around UVM,” O’Reilly says. Green Mountain Transit’s bus stops throughout the neighborhood, and a bus ride downtown can take up to 30 minutes. You can also bike downtown via the bike lane on Pine Street or the Island Line Trail. “I lived in the South End for 30 years, and there's no better place to be," Bouchard says. “You're five minutes from the whole world — whether that's five minutes from the airport, the interstate, the train station, shopping and dining options, or parks.” Interstate access is also easy, with Interstate 189 providing quick access to Interstate 89.

Oakledge Park and Blanchard Beach provide lakeside recreation
Lake Champlain borders the community, and there are several spots where you can access the water. Oakledge Park has tennis courts, a beach and trails. “It’s a great place to go swimming, picnic, play pickleball or take your bike out,” Bouchard says. Blanchard Beach is another popular hangout. “It’s the beach everyone in town goes to,” Bouchard says. The Island Line Trail follows the waterfront and is popular for recreational cycling. “It’s really beautiful,” O’Reilly says. “It’ll take you all the way from the South End of Burlington to South Hero.”
