Williston Homes
The thriving town of Williston is located in Chittenden County, just a few miles east of Burlington, Vermont. With 7,650 residents registered at the 2000 Census, Williston is modest compared to many of it’s neighbors, but is one of the most rapidly growing towns in the state, a tribute to its vibrant local economy. Williston enjoys a diverse setting, from the business district on Williston Road and the retail center of Taft’s Corners to the quiet village on Route 2A and the hill and farm country beyond. With such multifaceted amenities, Williston has it all.
Education
Williston has a fine educational system with two schools, the Allen Brook Pre K-4 and the Williston Central School K-8. Williston's high school students attend the Champlain Valley Union High School (CVU) in nearby Hinesburg. CVU is the second largest high school in Vermont, with about 1,400 students, and has a respectable academic reputation. In fact, in 2008, CVU had the second highest graduation rate of any public school in Chittenden County. In character with the strong sense of community typical of Vermont, students in CVU’s Presidential Honors Society and Key Club are encouraged to become involved in a wide array of community service opportunities. And as an added bonus, unique language courses, such as Greek, Latin and Chinese, are offered to students interested in broadening their linguistic expertise.
CVU is classified as a D-1 school in athletics, with a wide variety of traditional men’s and women’s sports, including many winter sports such as Alpine Skiing and the Snowboard Club. The CVU Redhawks are a highly competitive group, especially in soccer, where they have won an amazing six state championships since 2002! A relatively new addition to CVU's superb athletic program debuted in 2004 with the addition of a men’s football team, which currently competes in the D-2 class.
Williston residents are also within easy commuting distance of the University of Vermont (UVM), the Community College of Vermont (CCV), and Saint Michael's College. The Vermont Technical College, which offers degrees in Nursing, Dental Hygiene, and many others, has campuses conveniently located in Tafts Corners.

For the outdoor enthusiast, the Allen Brook Nature Trail and the Mud Pond nature area offer opportunities for hiking and fishing, without the hassle of a long drive. There are also three public parks in town, Brennan Park, Rossignol Park, and Williston Community Park, offering amenities such as horseshoe pits, playgrounds, basketball and tennis courts, and baseball fields. Williston Community Park also has two sand volleyball courts and a skating rink, and is connected to the village bike path. And of course, for those cold winter months, Williston is less than an hour's drive from many of the top ski resorts in the region.
The Parks and Recreation department offers programs for all ages, from pre-school to seniors. With summer day camps for children, golf lessons for adults, youth soccer leagues, and many, many more, in Williston there is an activity suited for everyone. The town also has the Dorothy Alling Memorial Library, located in the village off of Route 2, which loans out books and videos, and offers a variety of community-centered programs, including the always popular Kid’s Knitting Club!
