Portland Maine rental Market

Most of my posts center around the Maine real estate markets in Portland, but I thought I would give a brief overview of the Portland Maine rental market in this post. Generally I find the best place to locate rentals is still on Craigs List, but there are a few companies such as Schneider Property Management, Port Property, CT Management and Dirigo that all offer rental finding services. If you google them, they should be very easy to find.

The first choice one needs to make is do you want to be on the peninsula ie Portlands' East End or West End or out in a more suburban type locations such as Deering. Generally a decent 2 bedroom unit will run around $1000 to $1200. A one bedroom can be found for as little as $600ish and if you are looking for a roomate type situation, expect to pay aroudn $500 for a room.

Thanks for reading,
