Richford sits along the Missisquoi River at the Canadian border, where mountain views meet everyday convenience. The town’s gateway status blends well with its love of the outdoors: the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail begins here and rolls through farmland to the county seat, perfect for easy cycling and four-season strolls. Paddlers slip into town landings on the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, while skiers and riders carve turns at nearby Jay Peak Resort. For local services, the Town of Richford keeps residents up to date on permits, meetings, and community programs.
Families find a straightforward education path with Richford Elementary and Richford Junior/Senior High supported by the Franklin Northeast Supervisory Union, known for small classes, athletics, and opportunities that connect students to the region’s working landscape. Everyday needs are covered close to home, including primary care at the Richford Health Center, and county-level resources across Franklin County.
Getting around is simple. Scenic drives link you to employers, groceries, and amenities in nearby Enosburg Falls, while the border crossing makes quick work of day trips to Quebec. Whether your plans involve a first home near trails, a farmhouse with acreage, or selling to move closer to the slopes, Agent Pronto can match you with a skilled local real estate agent who understands both the market and the backroads.
