Libbytown Homes for Sale

Libbytown, one of Portland's oldest neighborhoods, is within reach of several key spots. Thompson's Point is a major entertainment hub that hosts concerts and other events, and the Portland Transportation Center provides shuttle service to Boston on the Amtrak Downeaster. Health care and job opportunities are available at Northern Light Mercy Hospital and Maine Medical Center, and commuters have access to Interstate 295 and the Congress Street commercial strip. Most homes date to the early 1900s, and some larger ones have been divided into multifamily layouts, drawing investors to the neighborhood. American Foursquare, National and Colonial Revival are common architectural styles. Properties sell from the lower $500,000s to around a million, spending an average of 42 days on the market. While Libbytown itself is walkable and you can get to Maine Med on foot within about half an hour, most residents drive. The commutes to Downtown Portland, Maine Med and Portland International Jetport usually take five to 10 minutes. Greater Portland Metro buses are also available and can have you downtown in 20 to 25 minutes. Local amenities include Tony's Donut Shop, Bissell Brothers brew pub, Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine, the Fore River Trail and Westgate Shopping Center, where groceries are available at Shaw's. The neighborhood is served by Portland Public Schools, and teens can apply to the high school of their choice. Upgrades are underway on traffic and road infrastructure, especially on Congress Street and Park Avenue. Because of the nearby transportation hubs and the helipad at Maine Med, Libbytown can be noisy.
