Essex Junction, VTInc. 1892
Essex Junction recently became its own city in 2022, separating from the town of Essex after decades of debate. The new city encompasses the denser, more walkable village center with its commercial district, the Amtrak station, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The housing stock includes older village homes, multi-family buildings, and the suburban development that grew around the five-corners intersection.
For property professionals, Essex Junction is a moderate, accessible market with more density and commercial activity than the surrounding suburban and rural communities. Its recent incorporation as a separate municipality means new governance, potentially different tax rates, and a market identity still being established.
