Quiet residential homes less than a mile from downtown Bangor
The Little City neighborhood sits just north of downtown Bangor and offers spacious homes and lots that are a quick commute from downtown. Here, homebuyers will find a primarily residential area with a park in the neighborhood’s core and additional recreation along the Kenduskeag Stream to the east. Many eateries and stores are less than a mile from most homes and can be easily reached by walking or driving. “Little City often feels like its own enclave in Bangor, like it’s, well, its own little city,” says Aimi Baldwin, an associate broker with ERA Dawson-Bradford Co. “You often see a lot of professionals moving into the area with the access to downtown and the hospital right there.”

Larger yards and Colonial Revival homes
Many homes in Little City were built in the early to mid-1900s and are Colonial Revival, Victorian and New Englander inspired, with mansard roofs and wood panel siding exteriors. Lot sizes in the neighborhood can vary, and some homes take up almost the entire space and feature large lawns with long driveways. “Many houses here have backyards, especially compared to a lot of other parts of Bangor where the lots are smaller,” Baldwin says. Paved sidewalks under the shade of mature maple and cherry trees connect many of the homes in the neighborhood. Prices often range between $200,000 and $575,000.

Bangor State Fair and the Zillman Art Museum
Residents of Little City are less than a mile away from the Zillman Art Museum, which is part of the University of Maine and the only modern and contemporary art museum north of Portland. The museum rotates its exhibits every three to four months and has had pieces from local artists and international names like Andy Warhol. Residents are also a short trip from annual downtown events, the largest of which is the Bangor State Fair. One of the oldest in the country, the fair has been a tradition since 1849. It occurs over two weekends in August and is jam-packed with events and activities, including carnival rides, demolition derbies and tractor pulls. Downtown is also home to the Maine Savings Amphitheater and Cross Insurance Center, two spaces with year-round events such as monster truck rallies and concerts.
Local trails and roads
Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 2, also known as State Street, line the northern and southern ends of the neighborhood and provide access to nearby towns and cities. Broadway is east of the community and one of the main roads to downtown Bangor. Many of the residential streets in the neighborhood have paved sidewalks, allowing residents to walk downtown or to the nearby Kenduskeag Stream Trail. “No matter where you are, you are always pretty walkable to downtown,” Baldwin says. St. Joseph Hospital is on the neighborhood's eastern end, and the Bangor International Airport is less than 4 miles to the west.
