Richmond, framed by rolling farmland and forested ridgelines, balances small-town ease with excellent access to regional employers and amenities. Downtown’s brick storefronts and the iconic Round Church set a distinctive scene, while proximity to Burlington and Williston keeps shopping, dining, and healthcare within an easy drive. Residents stay connected through an active civic calendar and up-to-date services from the Town of Richmond and broader resources across Chittenden County.
Outdoors, the options are standout. Families learn to ski at nonprofit Cochran’s Ski Area, a beloved community hill that turns into a hub for biking and trail running when the snow melts. The Winooski River invites paddling and fishing, and local trail networks in places like Andrews Community Forest put hiking out your back door. On bluebird days, the ridgeline calls—nearby Camel’s Hump State Park delivers classic summits and sweeping views.
Schools are a point of pride. Richmond Elementary builds strong foundations, and students continue through the Mount Mansfield pathway, celebrated for academics, athletics, and the arts. The library, farmers market, and youth sports leagues knit neighbors together, while commuters appreciate quick I-89 access and regional bus service via Green Mountain Transit.
