Just one breath of Portland's saltwater-infused air might make you want to stay for life. A picturesque fishing town on the edge of Casco Bay, Portland is filled with historic cobblestone streets (here's to you, Old Port!), delightfully weathered architecture, and coastal city charm.

If you've never experienced a northeastern winter, get ready for some wicked idyllic scenery. We're talking snow-capped storefronts, frosted windows, and powder-sugared treetops. But with all that beauty comes quite a lot of clean up, so here's a word to the wise: keep a mini shovel in your car, and avoid a tow by keeping an eye out for winter parking bans!

Before the next Nor'easter hits, outfit your Portland home with a quality home security system that can help protect you from a different kind of storm. ADT 24/7 monitoring means professionals might catch suspicious activity at your house faster than you will.

Next, explore Portland's booming restaurant scene, which—let's be honest—is unreal. With unique local hot spots, like Duckfat and Chaval, the Forest City goes head to head with some of the most foodie-friendly cities in America. In fact, Wallethub ranked Portland #3 for the highest ratio of full-service restaurants to fast-food establishments.

Enjoy your new home, folks! Ayuh, Maine's largest city welcomes you.
