Local Lifestyle

Whether you're into exploring historic districts, hitting up local markets, or relaxing at a waterfront café, Portland has it. Its food scene is top-notch — from lobster rolls to craft brews, this city knows how to serve up a good time. It's all wrapped up in that laid-back, coastal lifestyle that makes Portland feel like home from day one. From coastal walks along tranquil coves to strolls past historic structures, every nook of Portland tells a different story. With a vast stretch of oceanfront and trails weaving through nature and history alike, living here is an everyday rendezvous with the soul of the city.
 

Dining and Entertainment

Twelve exudes sophistication in every corner, from its avant-garde menu to its impeccably curated ambiance. Every detail and flavor is a testament to the luxury that Twelve promises. Pai Men Miyake is a heartwarming ode to Japanese authenticity (be sure to try the ramen and sushi). With rave reviews pouring in, Jing Yan Tavern has firmly established itself as one of the city’s go-to gathering places. 
 
Evo Kitchen + Bar mesmerizes with its electrifying ambiance and culinary wonders. An outing here promises vibrant memories and flavors that linger. Looking for a delightful twist? The Friendly Toast blends classic with quirky, offering a menu that’s as charming as its decor. Sitting by the waterfront, Scales promises an epicurean journey rich in flavor and scenic beauty. Health enthusiasts or not, everyone finds a favorite at Bay Bowls. With bowls that are as delightful to the eyes as they are to the palate, it’s a treat in every sense. 
 

Things to Do

Eastern Promenade promises a rendezvous with nature, blending serene ocean views with lush greenery, making every visit a rejuvenating experience. If you're interested in marine life, visit the Portland Science Center to explore interactive exhibits and maritime discoveries.
 
Thompson's Point is not just a place; it's an experience. A hub of recreational activities, it promises countless memories with every visit. Meanwhile, the historic Old Port area offers a delightful mix of shopping, dining, and history, making it a must-visit. For those who love a blend of nature and activity, Baxter Boulevard Trail is a haven. And for a day of relaxation, the tranquil waters and state-of-the-art amenities of Fore Points Marina await.
 
Once you’ve moved to Portland, circle your calendar for the city’s main events — the Maine Brewers' Guild Summer Session, Old Port Festival, and Harvest on the Harbor are great ways to have fun. You can also immerse yourself in art at the Portland Museum of Art, attend live performances at the State Theatre, or explore local galleries.
