Waterboro balances lake-country tranquility with easy access to everyday essentials and regional employers in Sanford and Biddeford, all within York County. Locals spend summer days on Little Ossipee Lake—paddling coves at sunrise, towing tubes by afternoon, and watching loons glide at dusk—while snowmobiles and ice-fishing shacks take over in winter. Guidelines from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife help you make the most of the water, season after season.
Community life is hands-on and welcoming. The Town of Waterboro supports year-round programming and facilities, and the Waterboro Public Library anchors book clubs, maker events, and children’s story times. History buffs can step inside 18th- and 19th-century life with the Waterborough Historical Society, while families gravitate to parks, ballfields, and trails that wind through forests and shoreline neighborhoods. Homeowners in the Lake Arrowhead Community enjoy private beaches, pools, and recreation centers managed by the Lake Arrowhead Community.
Education is a point of pride. Students attend schools in RSU 57, including Waterboro Elementary and Massabesic Middle and High School, known for strong athletics, career and technical pathways, and active arts programs.
Housing spans classic camps and cottages, sturdy colonials, and newer builds tucked along quiet roads. Whether you’re moving up, downsizing, or searching for a waterfront retreat, Agent Pronto can introduce you to a great local agent who knows Waterboro’s neighborhoods and market—helping both buyers and sellers make confident moves.
