As well as being 15 minutes from the Portland International Jetport and Amtrak’s Downeaster. As the ninth largest community in the state, Scarborough’s population has grown over 40% in the past fifteen years.

As a coastal community, Scarborough offers its residents spectacular ocean views from Higgins Beach, Pine Point and Prouts Neck , along with rivers for canoeing and kayaking and offer three thousand acres of marshes as well as forests and farm lands. For those of you wanting to get off the beaten path check out the Eastern Trail which now has 4.1 miles that stretch across the marsh from Black Point Road into Old Orchard Beach.
