Cumberland Maine Real Estate
Search for Homes & Condos for Sale | Community Profile
Cumberland is located just 15 minutes north of Portland. This suburb of Portland is one of the fast growing communities of Cumberland County.
 Stretching from the coast of Casco Bay to the rolling inland hills made up of apple orchards, small family farms, pastures and horse land, Cumberland offers an easy commute to most major area employers, shopping and medical services yet provides a relaxed small-town atmosphere.
Located just off the coast in Casco Bay is the charming island of Great Chebeague. This island was a part of the town of Cumberland until July 1, 2007, when it formed its own local government.
Educational Excellence
Cumberland boasts an outstanding school system which is known to excel in both academics and athletics. As part of MSAD 51, local schools include Wilson kindergarten, North Yarmouth and Drowne Rd elementary and Greely middle and high schools. Cumberland's school budget is $6,517 per student compared to a national average of $5,691. The student/teacher ratio is 12.3.
Cumberland Real Estate Sales
Cumberland real estate is unique in that it varies dramatically from the Cumberland Foreside with its coastal waterfront homes on Casco Bay, to its suburban neighborhoods and pastoral mini-estates to the west. Cumberland retains its rich farming history through the Cumberland Fair, one of the state’s largest agricultural fairs, which has been held yearly in since 1868.
A quick glance at properties for sale in Cumberland will reveal that the town has a wide variety of single family homes available, including some very expensive and exclusive properties. Compared to other parts of southern Maine, Cumberland offers some very compellingly competitive prices for ocean front and ocean view homes.
