Living Here

We are 2020’s seventh safest city in the Vermont!

Essex is nestled between the Green Mountains and Lake Champlain, and is Vermont’s second most populous community.

Safe, walkable, well-loved neighborhoods are surrounded by trail-laced open spaces. Residents work at a diverse array of local companies and global icons. Add one of the state’s most highly-respected school systems and an ever-burgeoning sense of community connection, and Essex is an ideal place to spend a lifetime – or even just an afternoon.
