A quiet town full of trees and homes
Considering both population and geography, Lyman is a smaller town than neighboring areas. It sits at just under 50 square miles and the total population, as of 2020, was less than 5,000 people. “There’s no center of town. It’s a rural area. There’s not much there, but it’s a nice place to live,” says Joyce Veroneau, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty in Kennebunkport who has been serving the area since 2002. Instead of a host of amenities, Lyman offers a true sense of serenity and community at local stores or one of the town’s annual events. Roads surrounded by mature trees welcome visitors and residents, winding along the area’s homes and farms. Residents can head to a nearby park and enjoy some time out on one of the town’s many ponds.
