Town in Maine
Current Resident: Kennebunk is a beautiful place to live and go to public school. It is located on the ocean and there are beaches to walk on and play in the water. It also has many hiking trails to visit and a local dog park to take your dog to. Also, it lets you take your dogs on the beach off-season. The public schools are very top-rated and are supportive of your educational goals. They are also very sports oriented. The buses will pick you up anywhere you live in the area. The town is extremely safe to live in and it has good police protection. There are many restaurants to go to and music venues to see. It is a small tourist-oriented town so there are many activities available for people to do other than sit on the beaches and read. You can go whale watching, biking, and kayaking, to name a few. All in all a wonderful place to live!... Read 34 reviews

Current Resident: Kennebunkport is the perfect beach town. In the summer there's cute shops, great restaurants, and amazing beaches. During the winter, the cold of Maine doesn't stop anyone with the town's annual tree lighting and Christmas festivities that attract thousands. The quiet beach town is amazing all times of the year. Aside from the tourist attractions, the public schools are one of the best in Maine, everyone is so nice, and it's a wonderful town for families.... Read 3 reviews

Current Resident: Undoubtfully I am admittedly biased. This is the town I've grown up and still currently live in. On a linear level, this town is the poster child for Maine, titled, "Vacationland". During the school season, the area is stiff. Few live here year-round. Compare the fall and winter to the summer, and you can see a drastic difference. The nature of this town in the summer is completely opposite to the off-season. There are several tourists, community events that take place, restaurants, an amusement park, and what magnetizes tourists here; the beach. I have met at least half of my friends from families that recurringly vacation up to OOB. Despite how stagnant this town is during the fall and winter, every summer makes up for it....

Current Resident: Berwick is a great town to raise your children. Smalltown vibe, friendly people, low crime rate, excellent education system! My husband was in the Navy so we have truly lived everywhere. We moved here to be near family and put down roots. This town is lots of space and farmland, but it also very close to all sorts of great stuff! Shopping, beaches restaurants, etc. The only thing I don't like is seeing all of the housing developments. This town is nice because it's not overrun with people. A lot of New Yorkers and Massachusett-ians are moving up here and there way of living is very different than here and not as friendly or helpful.... Read 23 reviews

While I'm usually home in the during colder seasons, summer is pretty fun here as there are lakes in town to go cool off and a few ice cream shops to get a cool treat. The town is also working on getting more stores in it, like the new Dunkin Donuts and the new shop being built next to it. Overall it's a nice town for a quiet and peaceful place of residence....

It has beautiful parks, great hiking and biking trails. The sunsets are glorious and no smog. It doesn't have all the fast food and large malls, but I have found the shopping from food to clothing unique and adventurous. Drug activity seems to be at a minimum compared to the rest of the country. I moved here in December 2020 from Arizona, experienced a real winter, and could not have been happier, I salute the road crews here. Very impressed with what I call "Maine's little secret"!...
