North Gorham
Rural Neighborhood in Gorham, Maine
Cumberland County 04038, 04084
Dutch colonials and Cape Cods
Homes in this neighborhood can be found in cul-de-sacs and small residential communities that branch off main roads like Main State Route 35 and North Gorham Road. These pockets tend to be surrounded by dense woods that can give residents privacy and proximity to the New England outdoors. Most homes are inland, but there are few waterfront properties along Sebago Lake with private docks and shoreline access. Common home styles include Dutch colonials and Cape Cods that feature gabled roofs, arched windows and driveways. The median price of a home here is about $420,000, but some three-bedroom waterfront residences can cost more than $1.3 million.

Residents can find year-round outdoor recreation
Residents can enjoy year-round outdoor recreation on Sebago Lake and any one of the neighborhood’s nature trails. In the summer, hikers can trek the 28-mile Sebago to the Sea Trail, and boaters can sail across the clear waters of the lake. When the temperatures drop, locals can go cross-country skiing along the Cummings Preserve Trail or try their hand at ice fishing on the frozen lakefront. For outdoor sports, residents can go to Perennial Place on North Gorham Road and play on three pickleball courts, a baseball field and tennis courts. In the warmer months, Dundee Park opens up its beach access, picnic area, athletic facilities and fishing dock.

Students zoned for two school districts
Depending on where a student lives in this neighborhood, they could be zoned for either Gorham Public Schools or Regional School Unit No. 06. For Gorham Public Schools, students can attend Great Falls Elementary and feed into Gorham Middle School, both rated A-minus, before later attending B-rated Gorham High School for secondary education. Young learners zoned for Regional School Unit No. 06 might go to Edna Libby Elementary, rated B-plus, for primary school. Students may then later feed into Bonny Eagle Middle and Bonny Eagle High School, both rated C-plus. North Gorham is also home to Saint Joseph’s College of Maine, a private Catholic higher education institution that offers more than 40 majors across undergraduate, graduate and professional programs.

Maple Sunday at Merrifield Farm
For the past 40 years, Merrifield Farm, a family-owned and operated sugarhouse, has hosted its annual Maine Maple Sunday Weekend event, which features maple syrup-making demonstrations, ox cart rides, live music and all-day breakfast. Merrifield also participates as a vendor in the yearly Cumberland County Fair, which has been celebrated since 1869 and hosts a variety of events, including harness racing, pumpkin weigh-in contests, circus shows and tractor pulls.
Commuters can take U.S. Route 302 to Portland
This neighborhood is considered to be car dependent due to a lack of sidewalks and the fact that most homes, parks and businesses are far apart from each other. Maine State Route 35 traverses most of the neighborhood and extends from the village of Sebago Lake to the town of North Windham. Route 35 also connects to U.S. Route 302, which commuters can take to drive approximately 16 miles into downtown Portland. Residents can also drive 15 miles south on State Route 237 to get to the Portland International Jetport, which is Maine’s largest airport.
Patch's Variety for local convenience
Patch’s Variety is a local neighborhood convenience store where residents can find basic groceries, a gas station, fresh coffee and a small sandwich shop that serves seasonal lobster rolls. For a more extensive grocery haul, Hannaford and Shaw’s Supermarket are located only a couple miles east in the town of North Windham. In this town, residents can also go shopping at department stores like Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe’s for a variety of home improvement and retail items. Also located in North Windham is Chute’s, a family restaurant established in 1983 that serves traditional breakfast fare and comfort food.
