Portland, ME Apartments for Rent

Portland, Maine combines coastal charm with city living. Located on a peninsula in Casco Bay, this historic seaport city preserves its New England character while offering modern apartment living. Residents enjoy the walkable downtown, which includes the Arts District and the Old Port's historic cobblestone streets. The city's maritime heritage remains visible throughout, from its active waterfront to Portland Head Light, Maine's oldest lighthouse, which has stood sentinel since 1791.

The city's downtown and surrounding neighborhoods offer diverse rental options. The West End features preserved Victorian architecture, while the East End provides harbor views. Additional established neighborhoods include Deering and North Deering. Apartment residents live within walking distance of the Portland Museum of Art and can enjoy outdoor spaces like the Eastern and Western Promenades and Deering Oaks Park. The nearby beaches of Cape Elizabeth and Scarborough offer additional recreational opportunities.

Portland's renowned dining scene includes more than 200 restaurants, with many concentrated in the Old Port and Arts District. With average rents around $1,800 for a one-bedroom apartment, Portland presents a more affordable option compared to larger Northeastern cities.
