Stroudwater is a pocket of history and green space on Portland’s western edge, where the Stroudwater River bends between restored 18th-century homes and quiet side streets. Minutes from Portland itself — and equally convenient to South Portland and Westbrook — the neighborhood offers straightforward commuting, downtown access, and the nearby Portland International Jetport for easy travel.
Outdoors lovers gravitate to the Fore River Sanctuary, a Portland Trails preserve with boardwalks through salt marsh, birding hot spots, and Jewell Falls, the city’s only natural waterfall. History shines at the Georgian-era Tate House Museum, where guided tours open a window into colonial life and the region’s maritime past. Evenings can be as low-key as a riverfront stroll or as lively as a concert across the water at Thompson’s Point, all while returning to streets that stay pleasantly calm after hours.
Families value the public school options through Portland Public Schools, with many neighborhood students attending Amanda C. Rowe Elementary, Lincoln Middle School, and Deering High School. Daily living is practical and comfortable: larger lots than you’ll find closer to downtown, trail access right in the neighborhood, and quick links to major routes without sacrificing that tucked-away feel.
