Relaxed enough that you can follow your interests, while also developing your career. They love the quirky mix of outdoor adventure and city culture. They enjoy the craft breweries and phenomenal food scene. They value the work-life balance they’ve achieved here. And they are proud of the inclusive vibe extended to new residents. The city of Portland and the towns within a 15-mile radius of it are home to one- fifth of Maine's total population—275,000. Some thrive from living in the heart of the urban center while others find their happy place in rural homesteads.

Our communities each offer something different, and together they create the magical fusion of Greater Portland.
