South Burlington at a glance
South Burlington has grown into the second-largest city in Vermont, wrapping around Burlington to the south and east. Home to the Burlington International Airport, University Mall, and the fast-developing City Center, it blends established suburban neighborhoods with a busy commercial spine along Williston Road and Dorset Street.

- Suburban Setting
Compared to its denser neighbors, South Burlington is classic suburbia: ranches, capes, and colonials on generous lots, plus newer subdivisions and a rising number of townhomes and multi-family buildings around City Center. Roofs here tend to be simpler and more accessible than in Burlington or Winooski — which is good news for both quality and price.
The city also carries a heavy commercial load, from the airport and University Mall to the office parks and retail along its main corridors — a lot of larger, lower-slope roofs mixed in with all the residential.
