Frequently Asked Questions
Does Burlington have a "small-town" feel?
Very much so. The Burlington Commons area functions as a historic and social anchor, hosting seasonal fairs and community gatherings. There is a “tight-knit” culture here—you’ll often see neighbors meeting up at local staples like The 859 Taproom or the Boone County Farmers Market.

Safety is a major draw. As the county seat of Boone County, Burlington has a high presence of local law enforcement and consistently reports lower-than-average crime rates, contributing to its reputation as an exceptionally family-friendly suburb.

The median home price in Burlington is approximately $295,000, which is competitive for the region.
