What is it like living in Vergennes? I'm thinking of moving to VT for a job in Law Enforcement in Burlington and I'm trying to find some real estate in the nearby area thats affordable?

I think Vergennes is beautiful. Parts of it are right on the lake and there are views galore. The downtown is charming with small, local businesses and restaurants. Vergennes, like Vermont and countless other places, is experiencing quite the economic downturn. Some of those nice businesses are suffering and a few are gone. On the plus side, properties may be cheaper right now. I've also only visited Vergennes, so I can't tell you what it feels like to lives there.

Hi, my Mother & Uncle were both at "Vergennes" as it was referred to in our family, in the early 60's. My Mother was Diane Webster, and my Uncle was Rupert (Punky) Webster, if anyone remembers them, please contact me. I am also interested if anyone remembers Cliff Bigelow.

Generally, it's cheaper north of Burlington than south

If you take route 7, there's a fair amount of traffic to Vergennes. I don't know if there's a better way.
