Cash Corner is South Portland neighborhood along U.S. Route 1
While Cash Corner’s mix of commercial, residential and industrial buildings feels very modern, this South Portland neighborhood dates back to the 19th century. “There were two prominent businessmen in the early 1800s named Cash who had a couple of shops,” says Realtor Chris Davis with Real Broker, LLC, who has worked in the area for about five years. These two men were A.J. Cash and George Washington Cash, who owned stores at the intersection of Broadway and Main, which became the Cash Corner. Those businesses have long since closed, and the area looks very different today. U.S. Route 1 runs along the neighborhood, making it easy for residents to travel to nearby parks, stores and restaurants. Students attend South Portland Public Schools, which earn a B-minus from Niche.
Variety of homes in Cash Corner
Grassy lawns stretch to the roads, decorated with bushes and trees that change with the season. Davis says properties are “laid out fairly close together, which usually bring together a nice, tight-knit community.” A variety of homes make up the neighborhood. New Englanders, a regional style with steep gable roofs and cottage exteriors, and bungalows from the early 1900s sit alongside ranch-style homes and Cape Cods from the 1940s to the 1970s. New traditional houses with colonial influences have popped up in some areas. Prices tend to fall between $350,000 and $625,000.

Dining in and around Cash Corner
The titular Cash Corner is now home to a Dairy Queen, a surprisingly popular location in the neighborhood. “It’s one of the last Dairy Queens in Maine, and people love that,” Davis says. There are a couple of other restaurants nearby, including the family-owned Caribbean Taste and Modestman Maine, a brewing company with more than 10 original drinks on tap, although people also make the trip to downtown Portland for a night out. Residents can get groceries from Hannaford, which is about 2 miles away, and do the rest of their shopping at Lowe’s, Target and Walmart, all within 4 miles of the neighborhood.

For some fun a little closer to home, people can visit the South Portland Municipal Golf Course, which is about 1 mile away and offers nine holes. “It costs almost nothing to play, and people love it,” Davis says. “It’s so good for kids; my nephew plays there all the time.” Locals can also visit the community center about 1 mile away, with a full gym and indoor pool across the street from a skate park.

U.S. Route 1 makes it easy for Cash Corner locals to get around
Many people drive themselves, although there are several bus stops along Broadway. U.S. Route 1 runs through the neighborhood. This, combined with the industrial buildings that make up the southern part of the neighborhood, can lead to increased traffic and noise levels, but it also has its perks. “You can get to downtown Portland very quickly,” Davis says. “You can also get south on 95 or to our airport.” Portland International Jetport is about 4 miles away, and the closest emergency room is at Maine Medical Center, about a 3-mile drive.
Cash Corner is located at the junction of I-295 and Route 1.
