Levant offers rural charm and natural beauty in the Bangor area
Fewer than 3,000 people live in Levant, a small town where winding roads thread through mature woodlands that blaze with amber, crimson, and gold in the fall and wear a soft coat of snow through the winter. These quiet streets branch off state Route 222, which passes through Levant and connects the remote community to shopping, dining and major highways that aren’t available in the town, but are roughly a 10-mile drive away in Bangor. “Levant is further out, so it’s quite a bit more rural,” says Karen Burns, a Realtor with Century 21 Queen City Real Estate who sells homes throughout the Bangor area. “It’s about a 20-minute ride to commute into the city, so you do also get your working-from-home-type people.” Levant’s CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.

Mix of housing styles and tree-lined lots that give residents privacy
Most homes sit back from quiet two-lane roads on wooded lots with up to several acres. Cape Cod, raised ranch and ranch-style homes are common, with a few colonial-inspired farmhouses and custom-built properties scattered throughout town. Newer subdivisions offer a neighborhood-like feel in a country setting, with modern ranch-style builds and New Traditional homes on residential streets. “We’ve been seeing a lot of new builds in Levant because of the low tax base,” Burns says. Prices for single-family homes typically range from $200,000 to $550,000, and the median lot size is over an acre. Parcels allow buyers to build their own homes, with prices generally falling between $30,000 and $160,000.
