Country living with suburban conveniences. Surrounded by open farmland along the LaPlatte River, the town of Hinesburg has remained pleasantly preserved despite its close proximity to Burlington (a mere 15 miles away) and the more bustling towns of Williston and South Burlington. It is an excellent option for those wanting to enjoy Vermont country living without a long commute. Hinesburg’s Lake Iroquois offers a public beach and boat access, and several town parks and recreation facilities offer year-round activities. The Champlain Valley Union High School, established in Hinesburg in 1964, brings together students from the neighboring towns of Charlotte, Shelburne, St. George, and Williston.
