Realtor Comments

Inside, generous room sizes, exposed wood beams, wood floors, and architectural details reflect the home’s character. The layout includes four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with spacious living areas and a distinctive blend of brick and wood throughout. Currently a single-family home, the property was previously configured as two residential units, according to the seller, with separate entrances and kitchen areas. The City of Bangor has confirmed that URD-1 zoning allows up to four residential units, subject to applicable requirements and approvals. Any change in use or unit count would require verification with the city. Public water and sewer serve the property. The property requires some updates and is being sold as-is, where-is. An additional opportunity: 14 Westland Street may also be purchased in conjunction with this property. Inquire for details. Some properties are remembered for what they’ve been. Others invite you to imagine what comes next. Ready to see it? Let’s Go!

The Pros

High Affordability (Relative to New England): Housing and general cost of living in Bangor sit noticeably below national averages and are drastically cheaper than southern Maine markets like Portland. It offers an accessible entry point for homeownership and remote workers seeking more square footage.
Gateway to World-Class Outdoors: Located just 90 minutes from Acadia National Park and short drives from Baxter State Park, the North Woods, and countless lakes, Bangor is an ideal base for hiking, fishing, skiing, and kayaking.
Regional Hub Amenities: For a city of ~32,000 residents, Bangor punch above its weight in services. It hosts Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center (a major tertiary hospital), Bangor International Airport (BGR), major retail hubs, and the Maine Savings Amphitheater, which draws large national concert acts every summer.
Low Traffic and Easy Commutes: Average local commute times are well under 20 minutes. Parking is rarely an issue, and daily routines are straightforward and stress-free compared to metro areas.
Solid Educational Foundations: The area is served by respectable public school options and is adjacent to the University of Maine in neighboring Orono, which adds educational resources, collegiate sports, and youthful energy to the area.

The Cons

Harsh, Dark Winters & High Utility Bills: Winter in central Maine is long, heavy on snow, and bitterly cold.Heating costs (oil, propane, or electric) can shock newcomers and add significantly to the true monthly cost of living.
Limited Local Job Diversity: Outside of healthcare, higher education, retail, and municipal roles, specialized corporate career paths can be sparse. High-earning professionals often rely on remote work.
Visible Regional Social Issues: As the primary service center north of Augusta, Bangor absorbs much of the region’s social infrastructure. Unhoused populations and substance abuse challenges are visible downtown, drawing frequent discussion among locals.
Distance to Ocean & Big-City Life: While on the Penobscot River, Bangor is not directly on the open Atlantic ocean (about an hour’s drive to coastal bay towns). For major metro amenities, fine dining variety, or broad cultural events, Portland is 2 hours south and Boston is over 3.5 hours away.
Higher State & Property Taxes: Maine’s state income tax and local property tax rates can offset some of the savings gained on initial housing prices.
