Choosing where to live is like ordering at a fancy restaurant – every time you think you’ve made up your mind, you see another table getting something that looks way more divine. Portland, Maine, offers a variety of neighborhoods each with its own unique charm and personality (kind of like a reality TV show, minus the drama). Whether you’re after historic charm or hipster lattes, Portland’s got you covered (and we mean this in a more-districts-to-choose-from way, not in a snowfall sense, though that’s valid as well). So, comply with Marie Kondo’s philosophy and pick the neighborhood that sparks joy, or in this case, induces the least amount of stress during rush hour traffic. It might not be a guaranteed recipe for happiness, but let’s face it, avoiding commuter rage might get us close. So, happy neighborhood hunting, future Mainers! Just remember, no parrots in Old Port. We were joking about that part.
