Quiet residential streets in the Vermont countryside
A rural escape south of Burlington with access to hiking and snowmobile trails, Huntington is still convenient to shops and restaurants in nearby Hinesburg and Richmond. “I’ve been living in Huntington on and off for around 33 years,” says Mark Duchaine Jr., a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway for the past 11 years. “I like living in Huntington because I can be a half-hour from South Burlington without having to live in a city setting." Though students travel several miles to attend classes, all the schools in the district are highly rated. In the center of town, Beaudry’s Store has been locally run for decades and is considered a neighborhood staple. This small-town atmosphere and rural landscape make for a quiet place to live in Vermont’s countryside.

Hikes on Camel’s Hump or skiing at Mad River Glen
Situated between Hinesburg Town Forest and Camel’s Hump State Park, Huntington allows for hiking, skiing, mountain biking or quiet strolls through nature. “I’ve hiked to the top of Camel’s Hump about seven to eight times. I’ve hiked there in spring and winter,” Duchaine says. “It’s really pretty up there when you get to the top … you can see all the way to Lake Champlain.” Folks can hike from the Huntington side, reach the summit, and then hike back down on the Bolton side, effectively traveling from town to town through the Vermont wilderness. The Huntington River winds through the neighborhood, perfect for swimming, boating and fishing in town. However, the river is known to flood during heavy rainfall. Robbins Mountain Wildlife Management Area teems with wildlife and has a few hiking trails to explore. In winter, folks can snowmobile or cross-country ski on the Vast Trail. Huntington is also near the Mad River Glen ski area, which has a reputation for more difficult skiing. Their motto is "Mad River Glen, ski it if you can."

A mix of farmhouses and manufactured homes on wide lots
Most single-family homes in Huntington consist of cozy manufactured residences, classic farmhouse-style builds and modern cottages with contemporary designs. “In Vermont, the pricing is kind of like a bullseye, with Burlington and South Burlington at the center,” Duchaine says. “The further away you get, the less expensive it becomes. Not to say that things aren’t expensive here, but you get much more for your money than in the city.” Properties can cost roughly between $300,000 and $600,000 but often come with generous acreage or large yards that back up to vast forests. “I like the wildlife and having a big yard — every spring, I know it’s spring because I can hear the frogs," says Duchaine, who adds, "I think that’s one of the biggest draws to the rural areas. You’re surrounded by the green landscape, and you get to see all the wildlife and the mountain views.”

Beaudry’s general store and restaurants in Hinesburg
The area’s only market is Beaudry’s Store, which sits across the street from the Huntington Public Library and sells general-store goods and essentials. “Linda Pecor has owned Beaudry’s since I was in high school,” Duchaine says. “We used to stop in there all the time and get the Chesster Ice Creams, two chocolate chip cookies with ice cream in the middle.” Most residents will travel out of the neighborhood to reach more amenities in nearby towns. Huntington is mostly rural, so most people head to Richmond or Hinesburg to go out to eat. Papa Nick’s restaurant is an American-style family restaurant about 8 miles west in Hinesburg, serving comfort diner food and large breakfast platters. The nearby Lantman’s Market sells fresh produce and other everyday groceries. About 7 miles north, Richmond also has small markets like Harrington’s of Vermont and Richmond Market and Beverage.

Maple sugar treats in Vermont’s springtime
During springtime in Vermont, several maple sugar operations and small farms participate in open houses, where they sell different goods made with home-harvested sweet syrups. “We ended up at the Giroux Family Sugarhouse in Richmond this year,” Duchaine says. “It’s a small-scale sugar house, but they were great. They had maple donuts and sugar on snow; we even had hot dogs that were slow-cooked in maple syrup.” Other local sugarhouses include Happy Hollow Sugarworks and Red Rock Valley Maple Farm.
Long drives to area public schools
Because of Huntington’s remote location, students travel outside the neighborhood for school. Brewster Pierce Memorial School, the closest elementary school, is graded an A-minus on Niche. It’s only about 3 miles south of Beaudry’s Store in the center of town. Camel’s Hump Middle School is graded an A and is located a little over 7 miles north in Richmond. Mount Mansfield Union High School, graded an A-minus, is almost 14 miles north of town in Jericho, and it’s considered the third-best public high school in Vermont, according to Niche.

Heading north into downtown Burlington
While Richmond and Hinesburg are about 6 to 8 miles away, respectively, Burlington is about 21 miles north via Interstate 89, a drive that takes most folks about 30 minutes. Once there, they can visit the shores of Waterfront Park on Lake Champlain or go to the University of Vermont’s medical center. Huntington is also about 16 miles from Burlington International Airport, which can be reached via Route 2 and Williston Road. Green Mountain Transit buses don’t run through Huntington, but a Park and Ride is behind the Huntington Public Library. Snow is also a major factor when getting around in rural Vermont, and the city plows only the main paved roads. Residents living farther out on private roads may need to hire their own plow services.
UVM and its Medical Center occupy the same campus in Burlington.
Route 2 connects Huntington to Burlington International Airport, about 16 miles away.
