South Burlington
South Burlington is where Burlington goes when it grows up, gets a job at GlobalFoundries or UVM Medical, and decides the parking situation downtown is not worth it. University Mall, Dorset Street, and the airport anchor a city that reads more suburban than urban despite the city label. The dating pool skews older, more settled, more likely to own the car they arrived in. Trader Joe's and the Healthy Living Market do real social work here. The honest tradeoff: you trade Church Street walkability for actual square footage and a driveway, which at a certain age stops feeling like a downgrade.
