Our Take
St. Johnsbury offers a quiet, family‑friendly small town with solid schools and low crime, but job options are limited and public transit is sparse. The cost of living is modest, though winter heating can add to expenses. Overall it’s a solid choice for those who value a tight-knit community over urban convenience.
