Old Orchard Beach, MEInc. 1653
Old Orchard Beach is a resort town on a long stretch of sandy Atlantic beach, with a pier, an amusement park, and a dense beachfront of motels, cottages, and seasonal rental properties. The town's summer tourism economy dominates, and the property landscape along the beach is fundamentally different from the more suburban inland areas.
For property professionals, Old Orchard Beach is a split market — the beachfront properties face concentrated coastal risk (flood zones, storm surge, erosion) and seasonal demand dynamics, while the inland areas are more conventional suburban. The hospitality-related commercial property along the beach adds another dimension.
