Cumberland blends coastal views with a relaxed pace in Cumberland County, giving residents room to breathe and an easy commute to Portland. Daily life centers on Cumberland Center, while Cumberland Foreside faces Casco Bay with public access at the town’s Broad Cove Reserve. Families prize the academic reputation of MSAD 51 and the Greely schools, and appreciate responsive services from the Town of Cumberland. Dining, errands, and marina access are minutes away in Yarmouth, upscale retail and services in Falmouth, and outlet shopping in Freeport.
Recreation is a year-round strength. The Twin Brook Recreation Area spans miles of woodland trails, sports fields, and groomed winter routes. Golfers head to town-owned Val Halla Golf Course, while readers and makers gather at Prince Memorial Library for programs that serve all ages. Community spirit peaks each September at the Cumberland Fair, a classic celebration of Maine agriculture with music, rides, and blue-ribbon exhibits. With quiet streets, access to the water, and excellent schools, Cumberland offers an appealing balance of space, services, and connection to greater Portland’s employers and arts.
