With its breathtaking location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Piscatagua River along Maine's border with New Hampshire, the charming coastal town of Kittery is one of the state's most beautiful places to live. With some of the oldest homes in Maine, many people who live in Kittery apartments for rent enjoy a true sense of unrivaled New England pride. With its close location to coastal amenities and Interstate 95, it is easy to see why Kittery has been a community that many Maine citizens want to be part of. Although the town is well-established as a summer getaway for visitors, it is also well-known as an excellent place to live. According to information from City-Data, the town is currently home to more than 9,500 residents.

Kittery was first settled in 1632 by British immigrants and remains the state's oldest settlement. The town's antiquity is still well-represented by its historical harbor site and beautiful colonial-style churches. Because of its ideal coastal location, the city became established as a shipbuilding center and even launched the first ship commissioned by the U.S. Navy in 1777. The rocky beaches and fresh ocean air made Kittery a prime tourist destination during the 1800s and still attracts residents here to this day. With its excellent quality of life, high median household income and plenty of outdoor recreation, many families continue to make the move to Kittery because of everything the town has to offer.

Playfully known as "America's Maine Street for Shopping," one of the most popular attractions in the area is the Kittery Outlets, one of the biggest retail spots that attracts visitors from all over the New England area because of the great deals. Kittery is also the perfect town for beach bums and nature lovers alike due to its coastal recreational opportunities.
