Aquaculture and classic Maine lobster
The Gulf of Maine surrounding Georgetown is its greatest visual asset and its primary economic fuel. Lobstering and clam digging powered the economy for generations, but the market has since shifted more towards aquaculture. The value of aquaculture in Maine was $137.6 million in 2014, and some studies predict it could reach up to $800 million by 2025. “We remain impressed by the dedication and responsible stewardship of our men and women who make their livelihoods from the sea,” says Washburn. There’s no shortage of seafood in Georgetown. Five Islands Lobster Co. serves fresh lobsters and fried haddock to patrons sitting in picnic tables in the summertime. But even during the winter, the Georgetown County Store has things like lobster rolls and pizza. The shop is the only deli and grocery store in Georgetown, so they stock up on essentials. There’s even a little lunch counter inside for neighbors who want to take a load off. Artisans paint plates, lamps and other ceramics by hand next door at Georgetown Pottery.

Shingled houses and waterside barns
Homes in Georgetown have a rustic, woodsy feel and sit apart from one another. Wooden ranch-style houses sit on the water with docks, two-story shingled cottages have back decks for entertaining and whimsical, contemporary houses overlook cliffs. Real estate is hard to find in highly desirable Maine, which keeps prices high. In Georgetown, home prices range from $380,000 to $3.1 million.
/
Saltwater beach
Georgetown’s natural beauty is one of its major selling points. The island is home to Reid State Park, a 770-acre nature area with wide-sand, saltwater beaches. The beaches serve as bird nesting areas and have sand dunes, a rarity in Maine. Reid is also known for its waves and is considered one of the best places to surf in New England. Locals can take advantage of nature hikes with incredible vistas, like one visible from the top of the rocky Griffith Head.

Not far from Bath
Route 127 runs into Georgetown from Arrowsic. Bath is about 10 miles away, and Route 1 is a 10-minute drive.
/
Small community school
Georgetown has its own elementary school, Georgetown Central School, with a D-plus rating from Niche. It has just 47 students, and the community is highly engaged. Physical education class sometimes takes place outside. After elementary school, kids can choose from nearby middle schools. A popular choice is Bath Middle School, followed by Morse High School in Bath. Both schools have Niche ratings of B-minus.

Niche Review
Georgetown needs more diversity and openness to new comers. Its a great close-knit community. Everyone knows everyone or at least knows something. There should be more access to a public transportation because it's very isolating if you don't have a car. We have a great beach here and a lovely co-op that sells fresh lobster and class. They also sell regular fried foods along with seafood meals. A great place to be if you want artistic inspiration for drawing and painting.
