Small Maine town with recreational lakes, a ski resort and an eclectic downtown
Bridgton is a popular vacation town, thanks to its many recreational lakes, Pleasant Mountain Ski Area and frequent events. But it also has a significant permanent population that enjoys the area’s seasonal offerings all year long. “It’s known for its beautiful landscapes and scenery, and it has a real eclectic downtown,” says Judy Oberg, Bridgton resident for over 40 years and fourth-generation realtor at Oberg Insurance & Real Estate Agency, Inc. “We’re not big, but it’s a desirable place. It’s a lovely area, and we like to keep it lovely.”

Summer and winter recreation at Bridgton’s lakes and Pleasant Mountain
“There’s lots to do year-round. We have ten lakes in the area, and most of them have public access where you can go swimming or boating,” Oberg says. Bridgton sits on the western side of Long Lake, one of the town’s popular recreational lakes. Sebago Lake, Maine’s second largest lake popular for its boating, fishing, swimming and camping, is less than 15 miles south of Bridgton. Bridgton is also a popular destination for winter sports. Pleasant Mountain Ski Area is a popular resort offering skiing and snowboarding during the day and night in the winter.

Shopping for books and antiques on Main Street
Downtown Bridgton is also home to well-loved local shops, such as Bridgton Books: “It’s an eclectic bookstore. People go in and get a lot of personal attention,” Oberg says. Visitors are sure to discover hidden treasures at stores like Scout Home Finds and Bridgton Antiques, also on Main Street. For a bite to eat, locals can walk to Beth’s Kitchen Cafe, which serves baked goods, homemade soups and deli sandwiches, and breakfast all day.

Homes incorporate saltbox, farmhouse and log cabin styles
“There are about 5,000 permanent residents here, and it blossoms to about 15,000 in the summer. We have a lot of second homes. Some are used seasonally, and some year-round,” Oberg says. Popular housing styles include farmhouses, saltboxes and log cabins. Homes incorporate these styles with elements like pitched roofs, small windows and wooden siding. These styles are popular for all homes in the area, from modest two-bedrooms under $300,000 to sprawling mansions overlooking the White Mountains over $1 million. Homes clustered around the downtown area sit next to each other on relatively small lots, but many homes in Bridgton are hidden in forested areas along winding driveways.
