Waterbury VT Real Estate


A quintessential Vermont paradise where foodies, adventurers, and the luxury-minded can find their niche.

Ensconced in the majesty of the Green Mountains and threaded with scenic rivers, the charismatic town of Waterbury embodies all the best facets of Vermont living with ease. Stunning landscapes, boundless nature to explore, an approachable culture, and a strong local business community can all be found in Waterbury, radiant with historic charm.

South of Stowe and situated at the intersection of Route 100, I-89, and U.S. Route 2, Waterbury is also known for its proximity to commuter throughways and its convenient central location. Waterbury is the name of both the city in general as well as the tiny, unincorporated village that rests at its heart. The two were chartered along with much of the area in 1763 and have since blossomed into a tourism destination revered for its fall foliage.

Waterbury VT real estate epitomizes the sophisticated elegance of New England. Primarily historic, properties run the gamut from charming downtown cape homes to sweeping estates tucked away in the countryside with plenty of acreages. Also popular are the increasing number of restored farmhouses, open land, and luxury new builds sitting hillside and offering jaw-dropping panoramic vistas.

What to Love

  • Quiet with direct access to major highways
  • Ideal for skiers and the adventurous
  • Home to Ben & Jerry’s and Darn Tough Socks 

Local Lifestyle


At its core, Waterbury is a unique blending of quiet historic districts and small-town tranquility with elite outdoor adventures and exhilarating sports. Humble yet bustling, this tiny powerhouse offers an array of incredible dining, local shops, and memory-making landscapes.

Dining, Entertainment & Shopping


For down-to-earth but still vibrant retail and dining experience, residents head to the Waterbury Village Historic District. Pressed near the waters of Graves Brook and Winooski River, this halcyon center harbors boutiques, specialty shops, art galleries, and an incredible assortment of culinary offerings.

A robust craft beer culture exists in Waterbury as well, and residents have their pick from several well-reputed establishments varying between gastro pubs and breweries to local taverns with live music and comfort fare. Near the top of the list are venues like the Freak Folk Bier Taproom and Blackback Pub, both known for their dedication to local beers and brewers. 

Hungry diners have their choice of delectable cuisine anywhere in Waterbury, but particularly within the bounds of Downtown. Prohibition Pig, for example, pulls from the glamorous but fun styles of the 1920s for its main aesthetic, then pairs it with a menu of craft cocktails and sumptuous southern fare. PK Coffee offers house-made almond milk that’s as heavenly as its dairy alternative when paired with its custom lattes. Those in need of a sweet treat for a special occasion will love the delights at Red Poppy Cakery. Meanwhile, Hen of the Wood, located on Stowe St., endeavors to serve locally sourced ingredients from Vermont farmers, cheese makers, and producers in a rustic setting. Maxi’s, near the Main St. roundabout, serves hearty breakfast burritos, omelets, and lunch sandwiches to get your day off to the right start.

Things to Do


Waterbury contains a bevy of attractions for visitors and locals alike. Among the most popular places to visit, the Ben and Jerry’s Factory is the only one within the company open to the public and draws endless crowds to its year-round tours. Visitors are walked through some of the most critical moments in the ice cream-making process and given delicious flavor samples during their time. 

Hiking, biking, and skiing are all frequently enjoyed by the residents of Waterbury, who benefit from the area’s numerous trails, parks, and waterways. Skiers in Waterbury will enjoy the town’s proximity to the slopes in Stowe, Sugarbush Resort, and Mad River. At the Waterbury Center State Park, for instance, visitors can take part in activities like swimming, fishing, camping, picnicking, and hiking. Drives along the many scenic byways, including Green Mountain, Mad River, and Scenic Route 100, offer the opportunity to view the majesty of Vermont’s unspoiled beauty with ease. 

History buffs will love the plenitude of places to explore in and around Waterbury, including the Downtown Waterbury Historic Tours facilitated by residents whose wealth of knowledge makes every tour a fascinating one. The town also gives its residents plenty of reasons to celebrate and hosts several invigorating community events throughout the year.
