Biddeford Housing Overview
The Biddeford Maine Real Estate housing market has held up surprisingly well given the economic downturn . Currently there are 162 homes on the market in Biddeford offered at a median sales price of 299K. Biddeford, like many New England mill towns, has had to reinvent itself as a post-Industrial town. In more ways than not, it has succeeded, and the town's strong town center, modern medical center, and nationally recognized public middle and high schools are a testament to that effort. I encourage you to reach out with any questions, comments or requests for additional info and analysis.

Biddeford, Maine with 15 miles of Saco River frontage, one of Maine's fastest growing Universities, a major downtown mill-revitalization project, and a fantastic public schooling system, Biddeford is a coastal city that stands apart from the bustling Portland ME housing area as a community-oriented place all its own. Just south of Saco and Old Orchard Beach.
University of New England
With two decades of yearly-positive enrollment growth, the University of New England (UNE) is known for its striking modernity and dynamic classrooms. With a nationally recognized physician's assistant program, as well as the advantage of a naturally-majestic outdoor classroom environment, the University's focus on academics, both inside and outside the classroom, has made its 2500 student body a popular destination for aspiring intellectuals, academics and professionals.
Food and Fun
Biddeford's beach front serves up the Patio at the Oceanside restaurant, where a single beer to wet one's beach-parched whistle can quickly become an afternoon lounging with new and old friends as you watch your tab rise with the tide. No matter, this is Maine in the summer, and Biddeford's Brunswick Resort's Oceanside Patio is as good as a beachside beer can get. Looking for one of Maine's better fry-shacks? Check out the Skipper's Restaurant . Thinking all Maine fry-joints are the same? See this great review, then stop by for some Haddock and a relaxed and local-friendly authentic Maine summer food.
A Diverse Array of Home Options
With its river and ocean front property, as well as its wooded inland areas, not to mention its thriving downtown area, Biddeford offers its residents, both present and future, a tremendous degree of diversity in their home options. While this is not unique to much of Maine's wonderful towns, Biddeford's situation as York County's largest municipality, means its residents have all the advantages of a larger city without the hustle and bustle of the Portland area. Of course, being only 20 minutes south of Maine's largest city, Biddeford isn't exactly out of the way of Portland's quicker pace, but at the same time, Biddeford stands on its own as a coastal town with families and residents that enjoy a community of "Mainers" who stick by their town on the banks of the Saco River and Casco Bay.
