Whether you make your way into Brunswick by way of I-295, U.S. 1, or the scenic Amtrak Downeaster, you’ll find a condensed community full of history and charm.
Regardless of season, Brunswick remains a bustling town. In winter, ice skaters inhabit the frozen parks and rinks near the river. During summer, the mild climate and access to the ocean make it an idyllic way to spend time by the water. There’s a plethora of locally-owned businesses in Brunswick, from coffee shops to restaurants to boutiques and more.
The town is also ripe with history, from the Harriet Beecher Stowe House to the historic Brunswick High School and Bowdoin College. Those last two also head up the city’s top-notch school system.
Brunswick is big on single-family homes, with all styles and prices on offer to renters. If you’re looking to rent somewhere that’s big on character but without the buzz of a city, Brunswick is hard to beat.
