Hartland, Vermont, is community-minded and outdoorsy
Hartland, Vermont, lies next to the Connecticut River and the New Hampshire border. About 3,500 people live in this township, which contains the villages of Harland, Hartland Four Corners and North Hartland. Interstate 91 snakes along the river, and numerous natural areas are nearby. “It’s a beautiful place for sure,” says Danny Kogut, associate broker with Williamson Group Sotheby’s International Realty, who has worked in the area for over 15 years. “I think people are looking for a haven from all the unrest in the world. Towns like this are particularly appealing to that type of buyer.” Cherished local restaurants are sprinkled throughout the area, with wider choices in nearby communities, and newcomers pitch in to keep the community fabric tightly knit. “Since COVID, there’s been an influx of talented young people working remotely,” Kogut says. “They’re moving here and joining boards, participating in local affairs, starting family farms and getting involved.”

Hartland Elementary School and high school choices

The school is close to woods and natural areas, and offers a Farm-to-School program that brings students to visit local farms and gives produce to the school. High school students can attend Windsor High School, which earns a C-plus, but there's also a school choice “tuitioning” program in which students can attend any public school in the state, or in a bordering state, and tuition, up to the statewide average, is paid by the town.
