At Home In Maine
York is one of the nation’s oldest cities and is located in the heart of Southern Maine.
Nestled near the top of New England, it’s comprised of four small communities; York Village, York Harbor, York Beach and Cape Neddick, but is typically referred to as “The Yorks” as a whole.
York resides in the middle of Maine’s scenic coast and the Mt. Agamenticus region, boasting incredible views and endless opportunity for outdoor adventure. Its convenient location is just over an hour from Boston and 25 minutes from Seacoast New Hampshire, making it one of the state’s premiere vacation destinations.
Experience the charm of this quaint New England city and in no time living in York will make you feel at home in Maine.
