Portland, Maine Real Estate
Portland is Maine’s largest urban area. This historic seaport is perched on Casco Bay with its many island and coastal communities. This region is as celebrated for its arts and entertainment scene as it is for its walking and biking trails; also renowned for its local cuisine and for its access to outdoor adventures. If you're looking for excitement, happenings, culture, fun - look no further.
Portland’s Waterfront is a whirl of activity, as it has been for centuries. Walking trails, trolley tours, bay cruises, lobster-boat rides, historic schooners and island ferries all start here. Enjoy the many pubs and seafood restaurants. Walk the Eastern Prom Trail for stunning bay views.
The Old Port is a lively shopping district with cobblestone streets, boutiques, galleries and restaurants in renovated historic buildings. Stroll up Exchange Street, then head toward Monument Square for seasonal Farmers’ Markets and the childhood home of poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The Arts District, anchored by Portland Museum of Art, hosts galleries, antique shops, studios and theaters clustered around Congress Street. Visit the Children’s Museum of Maine, and don’t miss First Friday Art Walks.

Explore by kayak or sailboat or relax on a sunset cruise around the harbor.
