South Berwick is a quaint town. Not a bad area, close enough to some busier places, but with a country feel to it. Southern Maine is definitely a whole different world than northern Maine. Far better imo. I grew up in Portland but have worked and lived in places from Kittery to Bangor, and I’ve gotta say I would never go further north than the Portland area to live ever again. I like your videos. Watched a few out of curiosity. Nothing more. I must say you’re pretty spot on with your info. Good stuff.
I've lived all over the US and visited here since the 1960s. I'm retiring and dying here. The nature is awesome, I love winter, the people are wonderful, and we have the lowest crime rate by far! The government here is starting to get a bit pushy as people have been moving here from other states and bringing their big-city ideas and agendas with them. Obviously I moved here from another state, rural PA, but I didn't bring any bs with me, I became a Mainer! 🌲🌲🐻
Maine was in my top 2 of states to visit in the East Coast. I got the chance to go to Maine for a few hours since my flight was late. I went from Manchester to York Beach, and I loved it out there because it seemed calm and much different than where I live. I like how things are done over there. It is one of the few states I would move to. Saw a job opening in Waterville a while back, but I did not apply to the job. How is central Maine like? I just know that it is more affordable than southern Maine, and not as cold as northern Maine. Side note: New Hampshire was the first East Coast state I visited, and I liked the place overall. I went to Boston for a while for two days, but I don't think I would like to live in Mass.
It's a cold, dying region. Southern Maine and maybe the far east coast Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park is where you hear most people moving to if they move to Maine. You may want to look at Bangor or a small town near the mountains like Farmington.
@@Jjjaaahhnn Thanks for the recommendations. I know that Portland is another popular area. A town near the mountains sounds nice. I live in Southern California and have the mountains and beaches not too far from where I live. I think this is why I really like Maine. Seems like things are nice over there near Acadia.
@@tabithan2978 The job post or listing was for an organization that does community based work at a school. It definitely is; It’s different than where I live.
@@michaelmosquera4709 Waterville is a Colby town, so it was probably them. My daughter goes there and volunteers at a local school. Ironically she moves to OC to start a job this summer.
Among the Lower 48,Maine is likely to be the state in which the fewest Americans have been in as it's not a state in which you go through enroute to another state.
I always thought about moving to Maine but the thought of getting myself into a mortgage stopped me from looking there or any other place. I own my home and the only way I will move is to be able to paid in full. Don't want to be a housesitter for a bank.

My aunt lives in Portland and the winters are really getting to her.
I’d love your opinion on the best city in Maine for a family. Places to go, fun things to do, etc.
Hey! I'd recommend being close to Portland, or Southern Maine. Feel free to schedule a call if you are planning on making a move!

Waterville? Applying to work at Colby? I like the area but huge change from SoCal.

Good point, thank you for the comment!
