Duxbury balances mountain-country quiet with everyday convenience, making it a compelling place to put down roots. Commuters appreciate quick access to Waterbury for everyday essentials and dining, while state offices and arts venues in Montpelier are a short, scenic drive away. Set within Washington County, the town offers winding backroads, big-sky views, and a close-knit feel that’s easy to fall in love with.
Outdoor time here is truly world-class. The Monroe Trail to the summit of Camel’s Hump begins right in town, with expansive hiking, birding, and winter backcountry routes inside Camel’s Hump State Park. The famed Long Trail crosses the ridgeline, rewarding day hikers and thru-hikers alike with panoramas of the Green Mountains. Paddlers and anglers work the Winooski River’s riffles and eddies, and nearby trail systems and ski areas add four-season adventure without the crowds.
Families are served by the Harwood Unified Union School District, known for strong academics and student support. Middle grades attend Crossett Brook Middle School, while high schoolers move on to Harwood Union High School. Community life revolves around school events, trail days, and low-key gatherings that make meeting neighbors easy.
