Frenchtown House for Sale

Frenchtown, a historically French-speaking neighborhood in Westbrook, a suburb of Portland, has transformed from its industrial past into a revitalized community. The Dana Warp Mill, a 19th-century structure, now houses a gym, thrift store, and tech company, reflecting the area's ongoing redevelopment. Frenchtown's housing market features vintage home styles, including Victorians, Colonial Revivals, and American Foursquare houses, with lower prices compared to Portland. The neighborhood's schools, such as Westbrook High School, offer diverse elective options, though they have mixed ratings. Local attractions include Wessie’s Den, a tavern-arcade, and nearly 20 restaurants and bars along Main Street, less than a mile away. For groceries, Hannaford is a mile from Frenchtown, while Maine Medical Center is 5 miles east. Recreational options include the Westbrook Little League complex, Westbrook City Forest with a 3-mile trail, and the Westbrook Community Center. Quarryside at Rock Row hosts events by a 300-foot-deep quarry, featuring concerts and holiday markets with an on-site beer garden. Commuting to Portland is convenient, with a 5-mile drive or bus ride, and Portland International Jetport is also 5 miles away.
