Scarborough, Maine Relocation Guide

Probably Maine's fastest growing community, Scarborough is spread over 54 square miles, reaching from the coast inland towards the mountains. Remarkably, Scarborough has balanced well its suburban character with an active business and industrial base that has allowed growth without incurring the problems often associated with "fast growth": it has maintained stable tax rates while expanding schools and services!

Much of the new construction ongoing in the town involves custom executive style homes with all of the popular contemporary features buyers look for, situated in new neighborhoods highly attractive to managers and professionals working at nearby "high tech" companies or in Portland. Scarborough also offers interesting alternatives to buyers preferring townhouse life and has many new units under construction. It is a very desirable destination for many people moving to Maine from other more congested parts of the country!

The 56 acre Scarborough River Wildlife Sanctuary is located in West Scarborough. The parcel is home to abundant wildlife and is one of the largest open spaces in the community. It consists of fields, an emerging forest and a great many rare and beautiful plants.
