Gardenside Commons Pet-Friendly Living in Essex
Forty-eight apartments and townhomes set privately behind the commercial building, with open lawns, green space and the VAST trail less than a mile away. Built in 2019 and 2020, and one of the few Bissonette communities that welcomes a pet.

on the same grounds.
Gardenside Commons is a mixed-use community in Essex. The commercial building sits near the entrance off Susie Wilson Road, with the apartment buildings set privately at the back. The two building types have genuinely different characters: a three-floor elevator building at the center, and townhouse-style homes with their own front doors around the perimeter.

Apartment Living in
Essex, Vermont

Pet-friendly living, comfortable one- and two-bedroom homes, and a choice of apartment or townhome-style layouts make Gardenside Commons an easy place to settle in and make your own.
