Lincolnville, Maine

Last week, Halis, Isaac and I took a day trip to Lincolnville, Maine. It is an absolutely gorgeous seaside community. Though it is further away from the Bangor area than we would like, Halis and I have been considering this area as possibility for our new home.

Our reasons for being attracted to this town are as follows:

1) It is not as commercialized as other coastal areas
2) It is still a working fishing village
3) The population is only around 2,000
4) It has a lovely beach
5) Housing prices seem lower than some other coastal areas
6) There are plenty of cultural events in the area

In 2004, Outside Magazine named Lincolnville, ME one of the America's Top Dream Towns. See the article here.

Lincolnville was also the featured in the Mel Gibson movie, "Man Without A Face". Halis, Meg, Isaac and I watched the movie last night so that we could get glimpses of the Camden, Rockport and Lincolnville area as shown in the film. We were not disappointed. The story had some flaws but the coastal shots were incredible! Check it out and leave me a comment about it here.

Tomorrow we are going to make a day trip to the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport, Maine. This is another area that we are considering. We plan on looking at some properties while we are there. I will post about our trip later.
