5 Affordable and Safe Places in Maine

Maine is often an overlooked state, when one is searching for a new home, but maybe it should be put at the top of the list. The state is full of natural beauty and plenty of outdoor activities. It's consistently ranked as one of the safest states in the nation. It also borders the ocean, but it isn't nearly as expensive as other coastal states, like Massachusetts and Rhode Island. In fact, some communities in Maine are really affordable and safe, so in this video, we're taking a look at five of those cities and towns.

I once met a retired couple in Myrtle Beach from Maine. They went south from October/November to March/April to avoid the winters.

Maine is my favorite state. It's so incredibly beautiful. Nice video.

Half of my heart was left at Presque Isle and Caribou, Maine; I was in the Coast Guard; yes, there was a LORAN C station there back in the day. I spent three winters during my tour of duty. I retired from the Marshals Service in December 2017, and I am waiting for my wife to retire next year to go back to Maine. Yes, I know about the brutal winters, but COVID taught me to live inside my home, so I am not worried about that. One problem I have is where to live, in the woods or on the coast; I have a year to figure it out. I will consider the towns shown in the video. Thank you very much, and stay safe.

I was in Maine just last week. I flew into Portland, but i also visited Bangor, Bar, Harbor, and all the places in between. I absolutely LOVED it up there, and I'm considering moving go Bangor. However, as a native Texan it was strange to hear "our season for this is almost over." I suppose that is just something I will have to get used to.

Yes. Maine is high on my list of relocation considerations. Went for the second time in April and was captivated by vacationland USA.

We spent a week in Maine in September 2019 and loved it. We mainly stayed along the coast, while we were there. We live in central Arkansas and I'd love to have a summer home in Maine. I'd leave Arkanas around Memorial Day in May and not come back to Arkansas until November.

I worked in Dexter on a USACE project. Really enjoyed my time there. 👍

Those are Jordan Hotdogs. My dad imported them from the State of Maine to sell in his meat market in Bristol CT years back. The best Hot Dog there is. I can still get them about $36.00 for 3 lbs is steep for me now. Originally I grew up in Caribou, Maine in the early to mid 60s. I wished i could go back there. I have very bad RA now and have to stay put in Tampa. The VA is taking care of my health needs now. I am in an electric scooter to get around.

The first lake shot in your video is flying pond shared by Vienna and Mt. Vernon Me. It's a beautiful lake I have vacationed on for over 30 years ❤

❤ Maine especially York Beach. My Uncle had 2 Cottages off of the Nubble Light House ( actually they were houses) one on Sheldon Drive and one up from that road. Love Long Beach ❤

I was wondering about walkable towns in Maine

[sugakookie]

Formally from NH and having to move to the Midwest to help out an elderly relative, I want to move back to New England. I can’t afford to move to NH, and feel more at home in Maine anyway. I’m looking at far northern Maine, but finding the right place is more important than where it is…

If I move to Maine it will be to be near the ocean. I need a list of most affordable Maine beach towns.

Maines weather has changed considerably due to global warming, and over 3, 800 miles of coastline oceanfront that has kept the State warmer now from warming waters. I miss the snow we used to have in Maine at Christmastime. Maine is gorgeous.. and a peaceful, low crime, place to live. I moved here from Upstate NYork and it's highway system is excellent and travel is easier than in PA or Upstate NY. You have it all here.. oceans, lakes, rivers, woods, small towns or average towns.. and the City of Portland is a great little City and Maines ocean front is beautiful, rustic and as quaint and lovely as can be. WE have it ALL in Maine.

[stevegamm]

Yes, I would consider moving to Maine!
