[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have spent a lot of time in Maine.  Way too much!

The coast of Maine is completely different than the interior.  I describe the interior as pretty much WV.  I've spent a lot of time there too and it is hard to tell the difference.  If you like winter and rural, then that is the place for you.

Coastal Maine is a different beast.  I cannot believe the crowds/development/cost since Covid.  It has just grown exponentially.  If was to move there, I would stay mid-coast or below.  I'd go to Boston for healthcare.  My parents want to retire to Maine from Mass and the cost is prohibitive.[/quote]

Tell them to look at downeast coastal Maine, if they like a rural lifestyle. Hancock and Washington counties have lovely coastlines and property is still much more affordable than the midcoast and south. Milbridge, Cherryfield, Machias, even up to Eastport and Lubec. But again, it's rural - and also gorgeous.

They can invest the savings into travel for healthcare to Portland and Boston.[/quote]
