Research Portland Area

Situated on a peninsula jutting out into spectacular Casco Bay, Portland is Maine's largest city and the state's cultural and economic capital. Portland is a safe and affordable small city with quaint Victorian-era architecture, excellent schools, accessible healthcare and a strong economy. It is known for its lively downtown and historic Old Port district along Portland Harbor. Here, modern boutiques and businesses are located adjacent to the city's working waterfront filled with ferries, commercial fishing boats and fishmongers. Dining in Portland is an eclectic experience, but fresh lobster is definitely a specialty. The city is home to two minor league teams: the Portland Sea Dogs, a farm team for the Boston Red Sox, and the Portland Pirates Hockey, an affiliate for the Anaheim Ducks. The Portland area has eleven professional golf courses, 124 tennis courts and 95 playgrounds. There are also over 100 miles of nature trails. Portland is close to the mountains, the beaches, ocean boating and fishing and great antiquing.
