Falmouth Foreside Condo for Sale

Falmouth Foreside is a coastal neighborhood known for its scenic Casco Bay views, fresh seafood eateries, and extensive conservation land. Residents enjoy access to the private Portland Yacht Club and the public beach at Falmouth Town Landing, which also features a fishing pier and a popular market. The area is 6 miles north of downtown Portland and offers a mix of commercial options along U.S. Route 1. Homes range from five-bedroom estates with private piers on the rocky shoreline to four-bedroom Colonial Revivals and midcentury Cape Cod cottages inland. While waterside homes face a higher flood risk, all properties are situated in a clean, well-maintained area with a blend of longtime residents and newcomers. Recreational opportunities abound, with Mackworth Island State Park offering trails and beaches, the Falmouth Little League Complex for baseball, and the Portland Country Club for golf. The Casco Bay Arena provides skating and hockey facilities, and the Maine Audubon headquarters features a 2-mile trail through diverse landscapes. Falmouth Foreside's schools—Falmouth Elementary, Falmouth Middle, and Falmouth High School—are highly rated, with the high school offering robust STEM programs. The neighborhood's core along U.S. Route 1 includes grocery stores like Shaw’s and Rosemont Market & Bakery, as well as dining options such as Foreside Tavern & Side Bar and The Dockside Grill. Wide sidewalks and occasional paved paths make the area walkable, and several Greater Portland Metro bus stops provide convenient public transit. A short drive on Interstate 295, Maine Route 88, or U.S. Route 1 connects residents to Portland's attractions, including the Casco Bay Line Ferry Terminal and Portland International Jetport.
