Neighborhood

Downtown Bangor has that old-world, New England charm you'll love. Elegant, historic buildings sit along cobblestone sidewalks, filled with shops and restaurants. All of this, set in the beautiful Maine landscape along the Penobscot River. Downtown Bangor is close to several colleges and universities, including the University of Maine at Augusta, Husson University, and Eastern Maine Community College. Downtown Bangor is home to the Maine Discovery Museum, the University of Maine Museum of Art, and the Bangor Waterfront, a large greenspace along the river with walking trails, picnic areas, concert space, and more.

Maine's motto, "the way life should be," is reflected in Downtown Bangor's atmosphere. In addition to a beautiful neighborhood with sidewalk cafes, art galleries, and cozy bistros, residents have fast access to mountains for skiing and to the river and canals for boating and fishing. Nearby trails provide hiking, mountain biking, and other outdoor adventures.
