Bangor in April

Hi Sickofbklyn,

I don%26#39;t know the area well, but wanted to bump this up since your post hasn%26#39;t gotten any responses.

Bangor in April

Weather in April %26amp; October are complete crap shoots. It can snow, or it can be 70. Often it does both. Sorry. Such is our lovely temperate climate- you must be ready for everything all the time.

As far as neighborhoods... IN Bangor itself... I like the Fairmount /teen streets area. Another is the tree streets. Although I%26#39;m not familiar with them specifically, there is a commaraderie (sorry I can%26#39;t spel... or type) between those that live in Little City %26amp; Bangor Gardens. If I was moving to bangor, my choice would be Fairmount.

Outside of Bangor... Orono is a ';college'; town although it%26#39;s really a ';University';. Some very nice older homes and some run down crappy ones(typically rented to students) and some newer homes on the outskirts; also has a small boundary with Pushaw Lake and has many homes on the lake (although considerably outside of town) Old Town is similiar but substantially larger in area and not really a college town atmosphere regarding the ';downtown';.

Glenburn (agric, %26amp; borders Pushaw also) Hermon spacious, good schools, lots of large homes from the recent houseing crush; Brewer- smaller version of Bangor with it%26#39;s own personality- sits across river from Bangor (3 connecting bridges within a mile and a half). Both bangor and Brewer have /planning newer townhouse/condo (upper scale) for along the river living.

Those are some very cursary thoughts. A good realtor can fill you in more. I suggest Gary Eastman at Town %26amp; Country in Bangor. I%26#39;ve known him since I was 13 and he%26#39;s handled all my transactions. Very Very Very reliable, consistent, ethical and crazy fun!

Hampden (immediately to the south of Bangor) is also a very desirable area with a lot of lovely old homes.

I lived in and loved Orono, but I lived near the southern part of town, away from the University and away from the areas where students tended to rent-- my neighborhood was very quiet and family-oriented. The University has a nice trail system and the town of Orono has an extensive land trust with a huge network of trails where I walked my dog every day. If you like to get out and walk, Orono is your town.
