Troy sets a friendly, rural pace in the heart of Orleans County, where the Missisquoi River winds past family farms and views of Jay Peak frame the horizon. Outdoor lovers prize the location: you’re a quick drive to Jay for mountain adventures and to lakeside Newport for dining, arts, and seasonal events. Yet everyday life stays wonderfully low-key—neighbors know each other, weekend plans are often decided by the weather, and stargazing is still a favorite pastime.
Recreation is a year-round calling card. Winter brings world-class snow at Jay Peak Resort, while shoulder seasons open waterfalls and swimming holes like Big Falls State Park. Snowmobilers tap into the statewide network maintained by VAST, and paddlers follow the Missisquoi as it meanders toward the border. Healthcare, groceries, and services are close at hand in nearby hubs, with hospital care available at North Country Hospital.
Families appreciate practical school options. Troy School (K–8) is part of the North Country Supervisory Union, with high schoolers typically attending regional programs that offer strong academics, trades, and tech pathways. Housing ranges from historic farmhouses to tidy village homes and wooded acreage, and commutes to major employers are straightforward.
