Stillwater pairs riverfront calm with college-town energy, set between the Stillwater and Penobscot Rivers and minutes from Old Town and Orono. Residents enjoy quick access to the academic, cultural, and athletic offerings at the University of Maine, while daily conveniences line Stillwater Avenue, and larger-city dining, hospitals, and entertainment are just a short drive to Bangor. Commuters and frequent travelers appreciate proximity to Bangor International Airport, and weekend explorers love that lakes, forests, and coastal day trips are all within easy reach in Penobscot County.
Families value the strong public school network in Regional School Unit 34, including Old Town Elementary, Leonard Middle School, and Old Town High School, supported by district resources from RSU 34. Academic spillover from UMaine enhances local life, from lectures and performances to Black Bears game days, giving Stillwater a lively calendar without the bustle of a larger city.
Outdoors, the Stillwater and Penobscot Rivers invite paddling, fishing, and scenic walks, while the trails and canoe launches at Hirundo Wildlife Refuge offer an easy escape into quiet wetlands and forests. Whether you’re seeking a first home near campus, trading up for more space, or downsizing while staying close to nature, Stillwater delivers small-community ease with regional connectivity.
