Buxton balances country quiet with easy connections to culture and careers, offering room to roam along the Saco River while staying within a comfortable commute of Portland. Set in York County, the town’s winding back roads lead to farmstands, trailheads, and river overlooks, yet everyday essentials and local eateries are close at hand. Neighbors in Gorham and Saco expand your options for shopping, dining, and entertainment, and weekend plans range from kayaking to live performances just up the road.
Outdoor-minded residents gravitate to river access points and community fields, while town programming keeps calendars full year-round. The Town of Buxton provides updates on recreation, permits, and civic services, and the Buxton Public Library anchors learning with story times, maker events, and a robust local history collection. History buffs will also find a trove of exhibits and programs through the Buxton-Hollis Historical Society.
Families appreciate that students are served by MSAD 6 (Bonny Eagle), known for strong academics, arts, and athletics, with opportunities that range from advanced coursework to award-winning music programs. Housing spans classic farmhouses, riverside cottages, and newer builds on wooded lots, so whether you want elbow room or an easy-care property, you’ll find a good match.
