Real Estate & Community Information
The epitome of elegance on the Maine coast, Cape Elizabeth has the feel of a charming rural village, while enjoying a close proximity to all the amenities and attractions of the Portland area. The town, created in 1765 when it split from Falmouth (as Portland was then called), is known throughout New England for its pristine beaches and iconic lighthouses, including the Portland Headlight, the most photographed lighthouse in the world. Despite its relatively small size, Cape Elizabeth boasts dozens of beaches, hiking trails, and historic forts, making it hard to find a road that doesn’t take your breath away.
With the longest growing season in Maine, the agricultural community thrives—stop by Alewive’s Brook Farm to pick strawberries in the summer, or pumpkins in Autumn, or head to Jordan’s Farm and enjoy a meal that is the definition of farm-to-table. In summer, pick up sandwiches at the C Salt Deli, and head to Fort Williams, Kettle Cove, or Crescent Beach to loll-away the day. And, should you feel the need for a bit more excitement, Portland—named Bon Appetite’s Food City of 2018, and on the “Best American Cities” list of many publications—is only a ten-minute drive away.
Health conscious and egalitarian in spirit, the town has more parkland and dedicated open space than any other community in Cumberland County, making it the perfect place to enjoy Maine’s natural gifts, whether from horseback, kayak, or your own back-deck. It is the hometown of Joan Benoit Samuelson, the first winner of the Women’s Olympic Marathon. Joan went on to found the town’s Beach-to-Beacon 10K to benefit children’s charities, and her efforts quickly elevated the race to world-class status. Once a year racers and onlookers flood the town for the event, enjoying for a few days the beauty that Cape Elizabeth’s citizens call home.
