Sanford · Lifestyle

Living in Sanford, Maine.

Affordable homes, mill-town revival, and quick turnpike access.

Sanford lifestyle is downtown summer concerts at Number One Pond, baseball at Goodall Park (one of the country's oldest active ballparks), Saturday farmers markets, and a SoMe Flea craft scene that's become a real draw. The Mill Yard food and brewery district keeps adding tenants.

Sanford is Southern Maine's value play — affordable single-family homes, a fast-growing downtown anchored by Number One Pond and the Mill Yard, easy access to the Maine Turnpike, and a short drive to both Portland and the Kennebunk coast. The city has invested heavily in its downtown revival and it shows.
