Our Take
St. Johnsbury offers an affordable home market and a quiet, family‑friendly vibe, but the local economy is limited and everything beyond the basics requires a car. If you value low crime and nature over easy access to jobs, shopping or nightlife, it might work for you, but it’s not for everyone.
