Scarborough Maine Real EstateLocal Area Resources Scarborough
is a suburban community that offers open spaces, parks and recreational
areas for our residents and visitors. There is a strong desire to
strike a balance with local commercial businesses and neighbors. With
close proximity to Cape Elizabeth and Portland, there are many ties to a
large metropolitan environment as well. Among Scarborough's most beautiful features is the scenic 3,100-acre Scarborough Marsh. The salt marsh
is crossed by meandering tidal rivers and streams and is a habitat for a
broad array of wildlife and birds. The marsh estuary opens to a
coastline flanked by miles of sandy beaches from Pine Point to the
South, Ferry Beach, Prouts Neck, Scarborough Beach and the quiet coastal
community of Higgins Beach to the North. Scarborough neighborhoods include: Pleasant Hill, Pine Point, Blue
Point, Prouts Neck, Oak Hill, Higgins Beach, Dunstan Corner (West) and
North Scarborough. As of 2007, Scarborough's current population is 18,646 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 11.60 percent.
