Portland, ME Apartments for Rent

Portland is Maine's most populous city and serves as a major seaport on Casco Bay, with a historic downtown that features cobblestone streets and 19th-century brick buildings in the Old Port district. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Portland, you'll discover everything from converted waterfront warehouses to cozy apartment communities tucked into tree-lined neighborhoods, with one-bedroom units averaging around $1,850 per month. The city's compact 22 square miles makes getting around a breeze, while its 68,000 residents create that perfect sweet spot-big enough to have everything you need, small enough to feel like home.

Renting in Portland means choosing from some seriously charming neighborhoods, like the West End with its stunning Victorian homes, Munjoy Hill where you can catch harbor views from the Eastern Promenade, or spots near Back Cove with its popular 3.5-mile walking trail. Downtown and the Old Port put you within walking distance of locally owned restaurants, craft breweries, art galleries, and the Portland Museum of Art on Congress Street. As a renter, you'll appreciate being close to the University of Southern Maine campus, having easy access to Interstate 295 for weekend getaways, and the convenience of the Portland Transportation Center for Amtrak and bus connections. With a thriving service economy and the working waterfront keeping the city's maritime heritage alive, Portland offers both job opportunities and that authentic coastal Maine character you won't find anywhere else.
