Lowell balances quiet, big-sky rural living with easy access to some of the Northeast Kingdom’s best adventure. In Orleans County along scenic Route 100, residents enjoy pastoral views, a supportive community, and quick trips to job centers and dining in Newport or mountain-town staples in Jay, Montgomery, and Eden.
Outdoor enthusiasts have a deep playground. Downhill skiers and riders are minutes from the slopes and four-season attractions at Jay Peak Resort, including an indoor waterpark and year-round events. The Long Trail’s northern high peaks are maintained by the Green Mountain Club, with classic ridge walks and stunning foliage vistas. Nearby Hazen’s Notch Association preserves trails and nature programs, while Vermont State Parks offer quiet campgrounds, ponds, and trailheads within an easy drive. Winter brings a web of groomed routes via the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers, and classic Nordic tracks at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center make for a perfect day trip.
Families appreciate that local K–8 students attend Lowell’s elementary within the North Country Supervisory Union, and older students have regional high school options in Newport. You’ll also find farmstands, sugarhouses, and community suppers that make it easy to put down roots, whether you’re moving from Albany or across town.
