Apartments in Burlington or nearby locations

I wouldn't say you'd have to necessarily avoid, but I'd be cautious when it comes to parts of the Old North End and parts of Winooski.

I live in Burlington and went to graduate school at UVM. There are a lot of apartments geared toward college students, and this time of year is when some of them open up due to graduation/students leaving for the summer. You'll have a much harder time finding one by August than you will now. The "new north end" of Burlington is nice, more suburban and family oriented, but a bit further from campus. Parts of Colchester are nearly just as convenient to UVM as the new north end, but might be a bit cheaper. Look for the Mallet's Bay area of Colchester. Winooski is cheaper, as is the Old North End of Burlington (referred to as the ONE), but also slummier, and an area I would personally try to avoid. The "Hill Section' of Burlington is very close to campus, and nice, but also pricey.
