I'm going to visit in the Fall to get a feel for the atmosphere and the essence of Mainers, so could you folks give me any good insight as to what is great about living so far North and what is best about living and loving in Maine!


Thanks
DANIEL RYAN

We are moving to Portland from NYC in September having purchased a home in 2006.

First, accept the long winter. If winter is not your thing, neither is Maine. Second, Maine offers 4 season outdoor activity: from the ocean to the mountains all within 2 hours from anywhere, except perhaps the far north of Maine. Third, Maine is pretty rural except for the Portland area. However, Portland is a first class city with urban amenities, especially great restaurants, usually reserved for much bigger cities. Lastly, for the northeast, Maine real estate is a bargain with most homes under 250K.
