Former mill town blossoms into bustling city
Once a mill town along the Presumpscot River, Westbrook is now a growing city with a developing commercial district just 5 miles from downtown Portland. With a population of around 20,000 people and a growth rate of around 14% in the last decade, the city continues to attract new residents. Some of the area's draws include its variety of housing options, numerous parks and nature preserves, retail choices along Main Street and the brand-new Rock Row commercial development. “The buzz in Westbrook is palpable,” says Amy Mulkerin, Realtor and owner of Mulkerin Real Estate, who has worked in the area for nearly 50 years.

Main Street lined with restaurants
Downtown Westbrook stretches along Main Street, where local eateries are mixed with green spaces. Residents here can start their morning with a coffee from Roots Café or have lunch at Casa Novello. Mast Landing Brewing Company is a popular meeting spot for drinks. The Cumberland Mills community is home to Rock Row, a growing commercial development with restaurants like Cowbell Burger Bar and a Market Basket. During the long winters, residents can head to Sim-City Indoor Golf, a digital golf course. The development is expected to be fully completed in 2029. The closest Target, Walmart and Lowe’s are all about 5 miles away.
Westbrook Together Days and popular events
Every year, the Westbrook and Gorham communities gather for the Westbrook Together Days. This weekend-long celebration kicks off with a concert on a Friday night in May. Saturday starts with a Boy Scouts Breakfast and an annual parade, followed by more live music, an auction and a fireworks display. The Westbrook Common is a downtown space that hosts a calendar of events such as acoustic concerts and art markets.
City parks and nature preserves
Riverbank Park has open fields and a playground, as well as views of the Presumpscot River. This space is also used for events, including weddings and the annual Holiday Tree Lighting in November. The Walker Memorial Library and a dog park are also nearby. Locals are surrounded by nature preserves, and Pride Preserve spans about 188 acres and 3.5 miles of trails that can be used for hiking, skiing and snowmobiling in designated areas. “It’s endorsed and embraced by not only Westbrook residents but the surrounding towns,” Mulkerin says.

Single-family homes and rental units
As of January 2025, the median housing price in Westbrook was around $460,000, slightly higher than the U.S. median housing price at the time. Homes commonly sit close together, with a line of spruce trees growing between them. Common architectural styles include Cape Cods and early 20th century bungalows in Frenchtown and larger Colonial Revivals and New Englander-inspired homes in the Prides Corner community. Mulkerin says that many housing options are rentals and attributes this to the number of commuters from Portland and University of Southern Maine college students who don’t live in the city.
