The Lewiston-Auburn area, known locally as "LA" represents two cities which are side by side on opposite banks of the Androscoggin River in south-central Maine. These communities are about half an hour north of Portland. Here, you will find safe, family-friendly communities and excellent private and public schools. You will have the pleasure of living near Bates College, ranked by The Princeton Review in 2005 as the nation's "Best Value" college. Being so near to Portland, and under three hours from Boston, LA residents have easy access to all the amenities offered by large cities. A 45 minute drive could have you enjoying Maine's spectacular coast, delighting in the fragrant ocean breezes¦ or you could be high in the mountains, surveying a panoramic view that extends for dozens of miles in every direction. This central location gives you limitless options!

People moving into the LA area enjoy a full range of residential lifestyle choices: You may elect to live in a suburban setting, or right in the city, or perhaps in one of many quiet rural areas nearby. You could reside in a country or farm style home, or maybe buy some acreage and build a home near the woods if you wish! Stunning lakes and winding streams abound in this area of mostly low, rolling hills so waterfront living is one of your many options. Affordable real estate is available to satisfy your preference, whatever it might be. Whether you choose to live right in LA, or one of the surrounding towns (such as Mechanic Falls, Greene, Lisbon, New Gloucester, Litchfield, or Poland), you will find excellent residential options and an easy commute to work!

Parents in the twin city area will find an array of public schools and parochial school options. There is also a very prestigious private school, Hebron Academy where middle school and high school age students may attend. Students in Lewiston scores beat the state average on standardized tests, and more than 60% of them go on to some form of post-secondary education. Many receive distinguished scholarship awards based on their academic achievement.

Enjoy living in this central location in Maine as part of a growing, sophisticated professional community that still offers the charm of rural living. Lewiston residents are proud of their local waterfalls, and longstanding traditions, like the annual Balloon Festival that draws many thousands of spectators each summer. You will find a full range of dining, shopping and services in town, plus a wide variety of educational and cultural opportunities that are unique to a college town. One hot addition to the community landscape is the semi-pro hockey team, the Lewiston Maine-iacs!

Nearby Portland is a terrific asset to LA area residents. In Portland, you are free to enjoy more unique restaurants and shops, plus theatres, a symphony orchestra, and much more. Maine's largest city is also home to two semi-pro sports teams: Portland Sea Dogs Baseball (the farm team for the Boston Red Sox), and Portland Pirates Hockey! Plus, the Portland Jetport gives you immediate access to the world.

If you enjoy the outdoors, you will love life in Maine! You will find a wealth of fun-filled ways to spend your leisure time. Maine's nickname is the Pine Tree State, appropriate because a full 89% of Maine's land is still covered by forests! Maine's downhill skiing is phenomenal (some of the best in New England). Other winter activities include snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling and ice fishing. During the summer season, when temperatures are frequently in the 80s and 90s, Maine offers fantastic hiking, biking and backpacking on trails all over the state. Perhaps you would prefer to go camping, try rock climbing, or go fishing or hunting? You can do all of those things and more in Maine. Boating in Maine covers the entire spectrum, from canoeing and kayaking to sailing, motor boating and water skiing and even whitewater rafting! Many newcomers to Maine are content to work on perfecting their lobster cooking technique.
