    Great place for families. Small town feel can be good or bad, but lots of local festivals make it exciting and Portland is nearby. Schools have a strong atmosphere of enrichment and great resources for a semi-rural area, but lack the academic rigor of nearby districts.

    Freeport is a small, community driven town that prioritizes safety and accessibility to resources. The school department is outstanding. Many family-friendly events throughout the year.
    Nice small town. Busy summers and audit the rest of the year. Lots of shopping and great deals year round. We also have a Nike outlet where you can score really good deals and items priced to be affordable.
