A destination community just outside of downtown Burlington
The city of Essex Junction has experienced many changes over the years, from its beginnings as a small village built around the railroad in the 1890s to today's thriving, walkable community. With everything spreading out from Five Corners, an intersection of five streets, residents can find an assortment of dining options and parks within less than 5 square miles. “It's an extremely walkable area from everywhere in town,” says Carolyn Weaver, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Vermont who has been an agent in the area for almost 30 years. “No matter where you live, you can always make your way to local schools and cute sandwich spots.”
The five corners region of Essex Junction is best explored on foot as the sourrounding area is very walkable.
You'll love having access to multiple dining options like Boxcar Bakery where you can lighten up you workday in a productive setting.
