Situated along the Saco River about 20 minutes south of Portland, Biddeford offers everything from walkable downtown lofts and historic in-town neighborhoods to oceanfront estates at Biddeford Pool, Fortunes Rocks, and Granite Point. Whether you're buying or selling here, the market rewards accurate, current data — which is exactly what I bring to every Biddeford transaction.

Biddeford's Coastal Neighborhoods

Biddeford's coastal market is anchored by some of Southern Maine's most sought-after addresses. Biddeford Pool is a waterfront village on a protected peninsula — one of Maine's original summer colonies — with historic estates, private beaches, yacht moorings, and the Abenakee Golf Club; you can browse current listings on my Biddeford Pool real estate page. Fortunes Rocks delivers oceanfront living along one of the region's premier surfing beaches, with large custom homes and sweeping Atlantic views. Granite Point, a private peninsula with rocky shoreline and wide ocean panoramas, draws buyers seeking privacy and coastal grandeur. Hills Beach offers waterfront homes overlooking Biddeford Pool Harbor and Saco Bay, while the Mile Stretch corridor connects these coastal neighborhoods with scenic ocean- and marsh-front homesites. In the heart of downtown, the revitalized Mill District has brought a wave of condos and lofts to a walkable, amenity-rich core.
