Find a Portland Apartment

When many people think of Portland, they think of the city on the West Coast. However, Portland, Maine, is a significant city that is sometimes overshadowed by the city it shares its name with on the opposite coast. With a population of over 66,000 that has been enjoying steady growth, Portland is the largest city in the entire state of Maine. A popular point of local trivia (and pride) is that the Oregon city was actually named after this thriving Maine community.

Portland is a very old city, with the first European setters arriving almost four hundred years ago. The city has proven remarkably resilient. It has burnt nearly to the ground at several points during its history, and yet continuously finds ways to revive itself. As the largest city in Maine, it is also of critical economic importance. The port is still vital to the area, as is Portland's proximity to Boston.

When to Search

In most cities with markets like this, and Portland is no exception, looking in November and December is a good idea. April and May can also prove good results.

Staying in the Know

Convincing a Portland landlord to rent to you is going to be made easier if you can show that you already have employment or an educational program lined up in the area. If you can prove this, the rental process will be fairly straight forward. However, with the rental housing situation being tight, if you're not working or studying in the area, it wouldn't be uncommon to face a few questions about why you've chosen to relocate to this particular city.
