Top 5 things I love about St. Johnsbury
Born and raised here. With a population of 5,945, St. Johnsbury is a small town. Median household income is $49,033, which feels on the lower side for the area. Average temperature is around 46--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $887 for rent here. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Limited nightlife
- Mosquitoes and humidity
Does this match your experience? The food scene here is surprisingly good. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. There's a real sense of community in certain neighborhoods. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable.
