York Reviews
Rating 4.24 out of 5 17 reviews
York is a very high class costal town, that gets a lot of tourist visitors during the summer. There is not much to do besides the couple restaurants in the center of town or hanging out at the beach. The town is generally very safe and chill. Most of the shops are geared toward tourists or are overprices boutique items, so there are not many activities. However, the beaches are beautiful and Mount Agamenticus has some nice trails to walk. It's a quiet town, and the age demographic is mostly older residents. During the summer months many people rent ocean side houses. During the off season, everything is a lot quieter. The peace is nice if that is what you're looking for. We are also close to Portsmouth which has some cute shops, and Portland is not too far.
A southern Maine tourist town, York is a beautiful yet pricey place. The beaches are a major draw of the place, but the school system is also one of the best in the state, boasting an independent four-school system and various extracurricular activities. The only thing is, York's location and popularity make purchasing property a nightmare.
It is a great, small community that values its citizens. I had a great athletic experience here while in school, and it is obvious that education is valued in this town. Not to mention it is beautiful and you can go from the beach to the mountains in 10 mins!
