Portland Overview

Many areas of Maine are quaint or rural. Portland is quite the opposite since a third of Maine’s population lives in the city and its suburbs. With that many people, there’s plenty to do from sporting events to your pick of hundreds of restaurants to enjoy. You’re sure to have numerous options when choosing from the many Portland apartments available.

What is the history of Portland?

Not surprisingly, Portland is filled with a history that goes back earlier than many other US cities. In 1623, the first European settlement was started by a naval captain. The small settlement was later abandoned and no one knows what happened to the ten men who stayed behind to brave the elements.

How is the weather in Portland?

Thankfully, Portland is much more hospitable now with usually warm and comfortable summers. As you likely guessed, you should expect long, cold and snowy winters here. You’ll enjoy the stunning leaf colors once summer cools down and apple cider becomes the beverage of choice.

How do I get around town?

When trying to decide how to get around Portland, you have choices. Depending on where you live, walking or biking may be your best option. You could also hop on a bus, train or taxi to arrive at your destination.

What is the Portland commute like?

As with most major US cities, allow some extra time for getting to your destination especially if you’ll be out during rush hour. One of the most popular scenic roadways in the Portland area is U.S. Route 302. You can also reach the city by the turnpike known as I-95 with I-295 and US1 being other options.

What are the local media outlets?

Radio, television and newspapers abound in Portland which boasts several major publishers. Some of the more popular newspapers of the area include The Portland Daily Sun and The Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram dating back to 1862. Also, check out MaineToday.com if you’re cruising the web.

Why live in Portland, ME?

Portland, Maine is a truly unique coastal city with a rarely-eclipsed heritage. The chances are good that you won’t be at a shortage for employment since the city’s unemployment rate is lower than what is typical for US cities. This’ll allow you to enjoy virtually any restaurant you could imagine with a great pick of fresh-caught seafood. Speaking of the sea, you’ll be able to go fishing, drop by the beach for a walk, or go out on the big water. You’ll also enjoy exploring a host of centuries-old buildings in the city.

What Portland landmarks should I see?

Speaking of buildings, one that you don’t want to miss is the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception which was constructed in 1854. Another to check out is the Renaissance Revival custom house from 1872. The tallest building in Maine and Portland is Franklin Towers which is a residential building. The University of Southern Maine is one of several Universities close by as well.

What is there to do around Portland?

You’ll find plenty do in the city. You could visit the Portland Museum of Art or the Maine Historical Society & Museum. The Portland Sea Dogs are a well-known minor league baseball team in the area to cheer on. There is also an abundance of golf courses, tennis courts and parks to stroll through.

Any annual festivals or Portland events to know?

If you’re in search of a festival, Portland has plenty to choose from. Many of the festivals are focused on food since Portland is considered one of the best cities for great food in the nation. Some of the popular ones include Harvest on the Harbor, Festival of Nations and Greek Festival.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

If you’re looking for a few vacation ideas close by, the coast is your friend. There are towns dotted along the coast that you can visit. There, you’ll find an assortment of shops and restaurants and, in many cases, a much slower paced atmosphere than Portland.

Where is the best place to move in Portland?

Once you’re convinced that Portland is your target city to live in, then you’ll have the fun of deciding exactly where in the city to live. If being near the excitement of salt water matters to you, grab up an apartment within a short walk from the ocean, making for a romantic and calming retreat. Portland boasts beautiful suburbs. One of the most desired places to live is the Black Cove area. If the downtown area suits you best, you’ll find a more relaxed pace than most cities there and a clean setting. Another area to consider living is near Old Port which is full of the best seafood restaurants to be found anywhere as well as entertainment. Searching for apartments in Portland, Maine doesn’t have to be difficult. Let us help you make it easier than you ever imagined!
