Saint George is a small town near
Spanning 3.6 square miles, Saint George has the smallest land area of any town in the state. “It’s what you think of when you think of Vermont,” says Mark Duchaine Jr., a real estate broker with Berkshire Hathaway Vermont Home Services, who has sold many houses in the community. “It’s a rural area and people are very friendly.” With a population just shy of 800, people know their neighbors. “It tends to be a place where people stay long term,” Duchaine says. Plus, the community offers a variety of housing options and proximity to Williston and Burlington, ensuring residents are a short drive from populated areas. “It appeals to people who like Vermont landscapes and foliage, but it’s close to big-box stores,” Duchaine says.

Nearby lakes, golf courses and more
Two large bodies of water sit on either side of Saint George. To the east, the over 230-acre Lake Iroquois offers swimming, kayaking and canoeing in the summer and ice fishing, skiing and hockey in the winter. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, visitors can sunbathe in the sand at Lake Iroquois Recreation District Beach, and forested trails on the north end are a go-to for hikers in the area. Shelbourne Pond is west of the community. This is a popular fishing spot, and largemouth bass, northern pike, and black crappie swim in the water. The pond also has a gravel boat ramp on its southwest corner and trails near the shoreline. Within the town, Rocky Ridge Golf Club’s public 18-hole course winds through the scenic Vermont countryside, and the Saint George Community Garden allows locals to grow produce alongside their neighbors if they sign up for a free plot. There are also many hiking trails in the area, like Sucker Brook Hollow Trail, which is just north and travels through hardwood forests. The shores of Lake Champlain, the largest lake in the state, and its waterside trails and beaches are about 10 miles west.

School choice through Vermont Town Tuitioning Program
Through the Vermont Town Tuitioning Program, students may apply to go to any school, public or private, in-state or out-of-state, which is approved by the Vermont Board of Education or an equal state authority. Because it’s so small, Saint George does not have a school in town. The closest options are The Schoolhouse Learning Center, which educates prekindergarten to eighth grade students and is not graded by Niche, and Champlain Valley Union High School, which Niche gives an A-minus and ranks as the No. 3 Best Public High School in Vermont.
The Schoolhouse Learning is a private independent school serving grades pre-K to 8.
