Right in the northeastern corner of the United States, Maine is a state of natural beauty and relaxed
surroundings. With its gorgeous coastline, heavy woods, and crystal-clear lakes, Maine provides the most spectacular landscapes one would want—from outdoor enthusiasts to people seeking peace and quiet. From hiking in the Appalachian Mountains to sailing across the scenic coast, or even just from the simple walk in the woods, this state’s natural beauty truly shines.
Besides the physical beauty, Maine has been working on being one of the safest states to live in the U.S. In Maine, crime rates are always lower than the national average of the United States. It is a great place for families and individuals. Smaller towns and close-knit communities attribute to a sense of security where neighbors are looking out for one another, and where great community is found.
The coastal towns in Maine, such as Bar Harbor and Portland, combine the quirky feel of history with the small town feel of local shops, seafood eateries, and art galleries that line the streets. Of course, there are the famous Maine lighthouses dispersed around the coastline to give it that touch of charm. Meanwhile, inland areas offer a quieter pace of life, with large farms and open spaces.
From snow-filled winters, perfect for skiing, to mild summers inviting one to go on frequent trips to either the beach or to camp out, Maine is a place where people can enjoy nature in any season of the year. Whether drawn in by its natural beauty or its reputation for safety, Maine remains an exceptional state in which to live, work, and explore.
