The Most Expensive Town in Maine to Live Might Not Surprise You

This charming little gem nestled along Maine's gorgeous southern coastline is a big tourist attraction, especially during the summer months.

Kennebunkport isn’t just known for its stunning views and quaint streets; it’s also the most expensive place to call home in the state of Maine.

According to Stacker, the typical home value here is a jaw-dropping $1,128,937.

So, what makes Kennebunkport so pricey?

For starters, it’s been a favorite vacation spot for the rich and famous for decades, including former President George H.W. Bush, who has a summer home here.

If you have taken a drive or a stroll through the town, you can’t miss the beautiful oceanfront properties and historic homes that come with all the charm of a quintessential coastal Maine town that you could ask for.

But as you can see, this has been more of a tourist spot than a home for most as those dreamy sea views and gorgeous homes come with a hefty price tag.

Besides the stunning scenery, Kennebunkport is also known for its upscale dining, boutique shopping, and art scene. You can spend your days browsing art galleries and your evenings indulging in fresh lobster rolls and signature cocktails at high-end restaurants.

Plus, the beaches are absolutely epic—perfect for baking in the sun and sailing.

The market does seem to be cooling off but with the ongoing problem of low inventory throughout the state, be prepared to open your wallet wide if you want to become a resident. Kennebunkport is where the charm meets the cash.
