Our Take
Rutland offers a very affordable price point and solid school system, but you’ll need a car for almost everything. The small-town feel is quiet and safe, yet there’s little nightlife or easy public transit. If you’re a remote worker or family looking for low cost and low crime, it’s worth a visit; if you want a lively, walkable community, look elsewhere.
