Ships gathered in the harbor
In Kennebunk, sailboats line the beach, and local shops populate two vibrant downtown areas. A popular destination in the summer, the neighborhood has access to three beaches, historic architecture and great dining. While this vibrant coastal town attracts outsiders, Heidi Maynard, a Realtor with Pack Maynard and Associates, who lives in the area, says, “People move here because it’s a true community. People care about one another. They unite when someone needs help and rejoice when people succeed.”
Kennebunk has a charming downtown.

Sand dunes, seabirds and saltwater
There are two contiguous conservation areas in the neighborhood. Madelyn Marx Preserve spans 24 acres, offers views of coastal salt marshes and provides habitat to sea birds and waterfowl. The Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge features over 9,000 acres of diverse habitat, from rocky coastlines and sandy dunes to tidal estuaries and salt marshes. Migratory birds fly over tidal creeks, and visitors can wander wooden walkways along grassy marshes or through dense forests. The neighborhood also has access to three beaches – Gooch’s Beach, Middle Beach and Mother’s Beach – that require a parking permit from June to September. This string of beaches is connected by sidewalks and features sandy and rocky coastlines.
The Brick Store Museum on Main Street opened during the Great Depression and aims to preserve the heritage of the Kennebunks by collecting and displaying its material culture. Visitors can view everything from 19th-century paintings to shipbuilding tools.

A high-end beachfront community
Home prices start around $300,000 for a ranch-style property that might need renovations. In the $500,000 to $800,000 range, expect Colonial-Revival or modern Craftsman-style homes. Closer to downtown Kennebunk or Dock Square, homes reach into the millions and typically feature quintessentially New English features, like clapboard siding and gabled roofs. “Those who buy near the beach typically come for summer fun,” says Maynard. Properties near the coast also cost millions and tend to be vacation or second homes. In the spaces between these hubs, homes may sit on trafficked roads or in small subdivisions. “Summer Street is the main road between Kennebunk Beach and downtown Kennebunk,” says Maynard. “The houses along this way are restored ship captains’ homes.”

A taste of the sea
Downtown Kennebunk features shops and restaurants inside buildings with colonial and federal influences. Locals also have access to Dock Square, closer to Kennebunkport, where there’s everything from boutiques and local restaurants to galleries and antique shops. Residents can browse along the waterfront or step into a café for lunch to eat and watch sailboats on the water. Old Vines Wine Bar on Port Road is a popular drink spot. In a converted bi-level barn, the bistro serves cocktails, wine and small plates. Grab groceries from Hannaford on Portland Road, where there’s also a Walgreens, McDonald’s, CVS and more.

Making the grade
Students are zoned for Regional School Unit No. 21 and can attend Kennebunk Elementary School, which gets a C-plus from Niche, for prekindergarten to second grade. Then, they can attend Sea Road School for third to fifth grade before moving to Middle School of the Kennebunks for sixth to eighth grade. These schools receive an A from Niche. Finally, they can finish their public education at Kennebunk High School, which Niche gives a B-plus and ranks as the best high school in York County.
Pedal to Portland
The Eastern Trail bike trail runs 22 miles off-road from South Portland to Kennebunk and on-road along quiet country roads. U.S. Route 1 cuts horizontally through the area and heads into Scarborough. U.S. Interstate 95 borders the neighborhood and will lead locals about 30 miles north to Portland.
