Burlington
Burlington is a wooded, hilly town on the western edge of the Farmington Valley, with lots of protected land and a regional school district it shares with Harwinton. I haven't closed a Burlington sale yet, but I work all around it: 21 transactions in Avon, 13 in Farmington, 6 in Bristol, 5 in Canton and 2 in Harwinton, Burlington's Region 10 partner town. Here's what I tell buyers looking here.
Talk to Adam about Burlington | What's my Burlington home worth?
Burlington has several distinct areas, including:
Most homes are colonials, contemporaries and capes on wooded lots with wells and septic systems. Send me a listing and I'll compare it with what nearby homes actually sold for.
Burlington shares Regional School District 10 with Harwinton. Burlington children typically attend Lake Garda Elementary School (PK-4), then Har-Bur Middle School (5-8) and Lewis S. Mills High School (9-12). The district notes that a subset of Burlington addresses attend Harwinton Consolidated School for PK-4, so confirm with Region 10 (region10ct.org) before you make an offer.
Sources: Zillow Home Value Index, September 2026; Connecticut Office of Policy and Management (OPM) mill rate and revaluation data. Market numbers change monthly. Actual taxes depend on each property's assessment.
Most Burlington homes have private wells and septic systems, so plan for water testing and a septic inspection. Because some Burlington addresses are assigned to Harwinton Consolidated for elementary school, confirm the school with Region 10 for the exact address. Buyers often compare Burlington with Farmington and Bristol. Moving out from West Hartford? Burlington gives you far more land at a lower tax rate.
For fiscal year 2026-27, Burlington's mill rate is 27.30 for real estate and personal property and 27.30 for motor vehicles, according to the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management (OPM). As a rough example, a home assessed at $374,000 (70% of $534,599) would owe about $10,200 a year in town property tax, before any fire or tax district charges.
