Cumberland Maine Real Estate

Community Profile

Cumberland, MaineCumberland is located just 15 minutes north of Portland. This suburb of Portland is one of the fast growing communities of Cumberland County.

Cumberland stretches from the coast of Casco Bay to the rolling inland hills made up of apple orchards, small family farms, pastures and horse land. Cumberland offers an easy commute to most major area employers, shopping and medical services yet provides a relaxed small-town atmosphere.

Located just off the coast in Casco Bay is the charming island of Great Chebeague. This island was a part of the town of Cumberland until July 1, 2007, when it formed its own local government.

Educational Excellence

Cumberland boasts an outstanding school system which is known to excel in both academics and athletics. As part of MSAD 51, local schools include Wilson kindergarden, North Yarmouth and Drowne Rd elementary and Greely middle and high schools.

Cumberland Real Estate

Cumberland real estate is unique in that it varies dramatically from Cumberland Foreside with its coastal waterfront homes on Casco Bay, to its suburban neighborhoods and pastoral mini-estate to the west. Cumberland retains its rich farming history through the Cumberland Fair, one of the state's larger agricultural fairs, which has been held yearly in Cumberland since 1868.
