When I first moved to VT, I was able to find an apartment that allowed my pets. It was a home that was converted into apartments.
I have my own home, now, and I have 2 dogs and 3 cats.
Almost everyone has a dog.
You just have to look around. There are so many little towns, you can find a home (or farm) to rent.
Good Luck.

As far as apartments and pets go, not many landlords want to deal with pets anywhere or else landlfors demand a hefty deposit. My gues is too many landlords were burned from messes that pets would make from pervious tenants. There are places that will accept pets, but it just makes a big difference on what type of pet. Would you mind if I ask what type of pet you have?
Take care,
Deb

Piggy Bank Re: Pay and jobs in Vermont
Thanks lovesnursing52 and dlehoe. I have 2 senior indoor only cats. I heard that Denver was named the most pet friendly city in the USA. I will probably go to Denver in the future. My pets are "family" so I would have to find a place where my pets would be welcomed.

I completely disagree with you on this. I personally do not live in NC, but I do have plans on moving there, and have done a ton of research on the state and I have been there many times. I also have family that live there, so I get a lot of input from them. YES, you will find areas that are ridiculously expensive to live in (that goes for any state). However, there are many wonderful places to live where your average home will cost you between $180,000 and $220,000 and wages will still be in the low $20's. That is not by any means "absolutely outrageous". In fact, if you look at national statistics, NC isn't anywhere on the list of "expensive cities." Perhaps it is expensive by your means, but if you compare it to national averages, it is about par. Perhaps my idea of expensive is skewed because I currently live in a very expensive city (Las Vegas/Henderson) and the average 3 bed 2 bath home/condo was just recently raised to somewhere around the $340,000 mark. Apartments are also ridiculously expensive. Also, once you start looking at locations in California, Tucson, NY, Massachusetts and start looking at homes that start out in the $500,000 (for average homes) and even up to the $800,000 range in San Francisco for average homes.. that is when I think we can safely say those places are "absolutely outrageous".. but NC is by no means outrageous.

Just my 2 cents.

It's very cozy and I would work there in a heart beat if I lived in Vermont. The pay is less but the fall leaves are beautiful and so is the snow. Be prepared to freeze your buns off though!

Housing is expensive, if you are looking to buy. However, I think it is pretty much that way across the country these days. And we just had our homes reassessed this year. So depending on where you live, taxes could be high.
Public transportation is not very available. Fuel is at $3.00 a gallon, now. And you do have to travel to shop. (Though you could find a town where you can walk to most everything.)
I would say that most other staples are about the same in the northeast.
Hope this helps.

I live in New Hampshire and work in Brattleborough, Vermont. It's an hour's drive each way for me. Sure, there are places to work nearer to home, but as a new psych nurse, I've got the most wonderful internship going imaginable. The leaves are just starting to turn and are just beautiful already. There are several ski areas nearby, and I'm planning to try them all over the next few years...it'll take me a few years to know all these mountains and waterways, state parks and roadside viewing stops. Most of the towns around here are quaint. There's just no better word for them. So I can't speak for the economics, although they seem reasonable to me. I don't know much about the school system, except that I haven't heard nearly as much complaining here as I do in NH. But I know it is absolutely beautiful here. The people I work with have been in this area, and have even worked in this same facility, for twenty+ years in many cases. People seem to settle in and stay. And they're happy...not miserable. That fact alone speaks volumes. Hope this helps you!
