Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, known collectively as The Kennebunks, sit along the southern Maine coastline, where village centers, residential neighborhoods, and access to the ocean and surrounding landscape come together. The two communities are closely connected, both geographically and in character, with Portland approximately 25 miles away and rail access in nearby Wells linking the area toward Boston.
Kennebunk
Kennebunk has roots in agriculture and shipbuilding and maintains a connection to both land and sea, with access to the ocean, river, and wooded trails, and a compact village center. The Lafayette Elm, planted in 1825 to commemorate General Lafayette’s visit, remains as part of the town’s history. Local life includes a farmer’s market, community garden, and the Eastern Trail connecting toward South Portland. Lower Village and Main Street include cafés, shops, local businesses, and civic buildings, with a summer shuttle linking key areas and the Franciscan Monastery offering public access to gardens and riverside paths. Residential areas include historic homes and established neighborhoods, with properties such as the Wedding Cake House and Summer Street, a National Register district. Along the Kennebunk River are shingle style cottages with water access, while Beach Avenue includes homes with water views and proximity to local beaches.

Kennebunkport
Kennebunkport is a coastal town known for its beaches, coastline, and long standing presence as a seasonal destination, with a mix of full time residents and seasonal homeowners. Dock Square forms the center of the town, with boutiques, galleries, bakeries, and restaurants in a compact village setting, where antiquing is a common activity and collections include pieces from international estates. The coastline extends along beaches and working waterfront areas, with white sand beaches and the fishing village of Cape Porpoise, where lobstermen land their catch and local shops, galleries, and restaurants connect to the harbor. The town hosts events throughout the year, including the Prelude celebration in winter and the Kennebunkport Festival in summer. Housing includes sea captain homes along the ocean and Kennebunk River, cottages with private beach access, village homes near Dock Square, and inland properties with land that may include barns, stables, ponds, and orchards, as well as homes in Cape Porpoise near the working waterfront and village center.
