Jobs and housing can be hard to come by so definitely have a plan or people to stay with

Yes, we’ve been 3 times now. St. Johnsbury, Newport and my brother lives near white river junction.

Then why are you asking strangers if it’s good enough for you

I was born here, lived other places, and it's well worth it.
To go along with that, it's more expensive than Kentucky.
And, you know, winter. But people on here are going to tell you it's way worse than it really is. Get a good coat and some good boots, you'll be fine.

There’s a housing crisis. Just sayin’.

Really? We’ve seen a lot of houses for sale. They all look nice for our price range.

No one can decide if you are making a good decision better than you can. Do you have jobs lined up? Have you looked at housing options? Vermont surprises people with a higher cost of living that you might expect. Rental housing can be nonexistent in most areas. It’s beautiful. And cold. So cold. For 6+ months a year. If you enjoy “city living” you might find VT hard to adapt to.

No. We're in a housing crisis, and our job market is slim picking unless you're already coming from money or make big bucks remotely / in a high end career. The few spots where housing is cheap/affordable, internet/cell service is slim and expect 45 mi. -1.5 hours to a profitable job (unless you get good enough internet to remote work). Are you ready for 7 months of snow and only 2-3 months of warm weather? Our winters are pretty but it's dark after 3:30pm -4:30pm for a good portion of our winter. Are you passionate about outdoor activities? We have slim pickings when it comes to stores/malls/things to do other than drinking or doing outdoor activities. Most Vermonters are to themselves so it can be VERY difficult to make friends / isolating. Is it a beautiful and unique state? Yes of course..but remember living here is going to be a 100% different experience from the glory of having visited here 3 different times.
