Kennebunk, MEInc. 1820
Kennebunk is a coastal town with a well-preserved village center, a stretch of Atlantic coastline, and the iconic Kennebunk Beach area. The town's architectural heritage — Federal and colonial homes along Summer Street and the surrounding neighborhoods — gives it one of the most attractive village centers on the southern Maine coast. Kennebunkport, the separate town next door, is the more famous name, but Kennebunk proper has its own strong property market.
For property professionals, Kennebunk is an upper-value coastal market with historic preservation, beach-area flood and storm exposure, and a housing stock that ranges from grand village homes to modest beach cottages to suburban development inland.
