Kennebunkport, MEInc. 1653
Kennebunkport is one of the most recognized town names in New England — the Bush family compound at Walker's Point has made it a presidential landmark. The town's coastline, harbor village, and the Kennebunk River create a property landscape that ranges from oceanfront estates to fishing-village cottages to the commercial properties along Dock Square. The Cape Porpoise area adds another waterfront neighborhood.
For property professionals, Kennebunkport is a premium coastal market with high assessed values, significant seasonal demand, and the full range of coastal exposure — ocean storms, flood zones, erosion, and tidal flooding. The town's fame creates demand from a national buyer pool, but the coastal risk is local and specific.
