Ogunquit, MEInc. 1980
Ogunquit is a small, resort-oriented town on the southern Maine coast, known for Ogunquit Beach, Perkins Cove, and the Marginal Way — a clifftop walking path along the ocean. The town's summer tourism economy and its reputation as an LGBTQ-friendly destination shape its property market. The housing stock mixes year-round homes with seasonal cottages, hotels, and the commercial properties that serve the resort economy.
For property professionals, Ogunquit is a high-value, seasonal coastal market where ocean exposure, tourism-related commercial property, and the seasonal demand dynamic are the defining factors. Flood zones and storm risk affect the beachfront and harbor-area properties.
