Situated along the eastern banks of the Penobscot River, Brewer combines historic roots with contemporary living. Originally settled in 1777 and named after Colonel John Brewer, this riverside city has transformed from its industrial heritage of brick-making, shipbuilding, and paper production into a thriving residential community. With an average rent of $1,305 for a one-bedroom apartment, Brewer offers housing costs below the Maine state average of $1,658.
Connected to Bangor by three bridges, Brewer residents enjoy small-town living with easy access to city conveniences. The 15-square-mile city includes North and South Brewer neighborhoods, each offering various apartment options. The short commute to Bangor's business district and proximity to Maine's outdoor recreation areas make Brewer an appealing choice for renters. True to its motto "A Community of Caring," Brewer continues to grow while maintaining its New England character.
