Ogunquit ME Real Estate
Ogunquit means “Beautiful Place by the Sea’ and that says it all. Ogunquit, with a total area of about four miles, is a small community of about 1,500 year-round residents north of Boston, but is also a major tourist destination during the summer months when visitors from around the world come to enjoy the three miles of soft sandy beaches, seafood, boutique shopping, four-star hotels, and oceanfront location. In the 19th century, Ogunquit became an established an artist colony and today remains a mecca for artists and theater lovers.
The small town shares a school system with Wells that is closely aligned with the residents and the local business community. The innovative Wells-Ogunquit School district is focused on integrating technology with learning.
Popular Ogunquit is geographically small and that limits new neighborhood and home building. The real estate market features a wide range of condominiums, cottages, single-family homes, and estates. Much of the town is within walking distance to the ocean and The Marginal Way, a mile-long pathway along ocean links the picturesque community with the celebrated coastline and the prominent Atlantic Ocean.
