The Wonderful Land of Maine

Nestled between the wilderness of two Canadian provinces and the Atlantic ocean, the Pine Tree State is rich in diverse landscapes. It is the most northeastern state in the contiguous U.S. and offers picturesque coastlines, sweeping mountain ranges, and dense forests filled with waterways and lakes. But, city dwellers fear not. Maine has a rapidly growing reputation for gastronomy and is quickly becoming a cultural hub for artists. With a growing number of modular homes dealers in Maine, there are also more permanent dwelling options located right in town. Plus, due to Maine’s low population density, when it comes to spatial return on your investment, it is hard to beat modular home Maine prices. But if you are like many Mainers, something off the beaten cobblestones of Portland city may be calling you, so grab your blueberry baskets and let’s see if there are any mobile homes in Maine ripe for the picking.

Things To Do in Maine

Both visitors and natives to Maine would agree, the Pine Tree State is best enjoyed outdoors. For the more adventurous, you may be hiking knife’s edge in Baxter State Park, or for the more laid back, simply watching white waves crash on the granite rocks of Sand Beach. Either way, with so many muddy activities situated all over this green state, you may want access to a used mobile home for sale in Maine to be moved around as you like.

In the north, Maine offers breathtaking wonders to those looking high or low. The Allagash Wilderness Waterways are a canoer's dream as you paddle down a spectacular 92 mile connection of lakes, streams, and rivers towards Allagash village. But if you are looking to capture one of Maine’s stunning mountain views overlooking tall pines and massive rocky cliffs, take the Saddle Trail to the top of Mt. Katahdin. This 10.4 mile loop is a challenging hike for any active explorer. 

No matter how fun it can be to break a sweat, not all sightseeing in Maine requires effort. Peppered down the coast, you can find endless iconic lighthouses. One only needs to imagine a Maine postcard to see the historical Portland Head Light or the red-striped West Quoddy Head Lighthouse in Downeast. And if something further south is tempting, some mobile homes for sale in York County Maine are just a stone’s throw away from The Nubble Light at Cape Neddick. 

As summer rolls around, Maine’s cold Atlantic waters won't deter crowds at all. Beaches are the place to be and, thankfully, Maine has no shortage. With more coastal miles than California, the Pine Tree State also boasts some of the most quaint beach towns in North America. Whether it is the colorful boats dotting the shoreline at Perkins Cove, the shopping at Kennebunkport, the endless waves to surf at Higgins Beach, or the family amusement park at Old Orchard beach, there is truly something for everyone.  

After a long day at the beach, it’s time for something to eat. Maine is full of world class hole-in-the-wall fried clams and lobster shacks, so seafood is a safe and delicious choice. A local secret, however, is that seafood is not the only thing on plates in Maine. After being named “The Restaurant City of the Year” by Bon Appétit magazine, recent years have seen Portland offering a wide range of cuisines from a slew of different ethnicities. 

If researching mobile homes in Maine’s tranquil beauty has got you inspired, you are not the first. The state has been home to many artists and is packed with over 100 artistic or special interest museums to visit.

With so many activities available, traveling in Maine can be exhausting. Thankfully, with tons of mobile home parks in Maine, you can tour nature from the comfort of your own moving home.

History of Maine

History of Maine

Large group of people forming the shape of Maine

Whether you are looking for mobile homes for sale in Maine or modular homes for sale in Maine, the state’s untouched natural beauty is filled with American history and offers a chance for everyone to feel like the early settlers. 

The geographical area of Maine was once solely inhabited by several indeginous communities making up the MicMac and Wabanaki peoples. After several failed attempts, it would also later become one of the earliest European settlement sites in America. Unlike their Native contemporaries, whose deep roots on the land spanned hundreds of years, early settlement was challenging for the newcomers as they were not accustomed to the vast areas of rugged wilderness and frigid winters. Compared to its southern neighbors in New York and Massachusetts, Maine’s population and population densities were quite low from the onset. For those who enjoy peace and privacy, it will be welcomed news to hear that this phenomenon has largely continued until today. Maine is home to more towns than cities and is still the least densely populated state east of the Mississippi river.

By the 18th century, the area currently considered Maine was inhabited by a mix of indeginous communities and immigrants from France and Britain. The lack of any singular dominant group led to frequent conflicts and disputes concerning Maine’s territorial ownership and borders. At one point, Maine was actually part of Massachusetts but formally seceded in 1820 as part of the Missouri Compromise, thereby effectively helping limit the geographical spread of slavery and becoming the 23rd state to join the union. 

Maine Demographics

Although Maine initially saw rapid population increases through Euro-American resettlement in the 1700’s, recent census data shows that years of consistent low immigration rates have produced the highest percentage of whites of any state at 94.4%. The vast majority of Americans living there trace their roots back to England, Ireland, France, or Germany

English is the primary language spoken throughout Maine, but if you are looking at northern Maine mobile homes for sale, it is not uncommon to hear French from the small population of Acadians sprinkled throughout the area bordering Canada. 

The population living near the northeastern coast of Maine, spanning the historically French region of Acadia, are often referred to as “Downeasters,” a term referring to wind sailing patterns from Ellsworth stretching all the way east to the Canadian maritime provinces. Throughout the region the charming twang in their accent can be overheard pronouncing Bar Harbor as Bah-Ha-Bah. 

Today, many continue to choose Maine for the same reasons as the previous generations. Its secluded nature and rustic lifestyle still offer a chance to mimic the simplicity of the early settlements. Remote Maine modular log homes may be a fitting choice. By 2010, only 38.7% of inhabitants in Maine were living in urban centers, making it one of the most rural states in the country.

Climate and Weather

Climate / Weather

Maine is a state with four distinct seasons, making it a sought after destination all year around for nature lovers. Its warm mild summers help fill the coastal beach towns of Kennebunk Port and Old Orchard, while its colorful autumns and springs attract hikers to Mount Katahdin at the northern end of the Appalachian Trail. Winters in Maine, however, are more of an acquired taste. Typically characterized by cold and heavy snow, they are best suited for those looking to ski, snowshoe, or even snowmobile Maine. 

While considering where to look for mobile homes for sale in Maine, it is important to take note that it is divided into three climatological divisions: northern interior, southern interior, and coastal. The northern interior occupies the most space at 60% of Maine’s territory. Furthest from the coast, the western zone stretches through the north woods up to the Canadian border. It has a continental climate and often sees the most snowfall. 

Taking a quick glance back to population densities in Maine, it is fair to assume that not many  are suited for the northern cold. For that reason, mobile homes for sale in Southern Maine tend to be a more popular choice. Hugging the coastal division inland, the southern interior is warmer during the summer months. Although fog is most frequent along the coast, mystical patches can often be seen in the southern interior’s low inland areas as well. 

The coastal region, extending over 3500 miles of beautiful coastline, enjoys temperatures moderated by the ocean. This results in slightly cooler summers and warmer winters than it’s neighboring zones. Despite the occurrence of increased precipitation in the coastal region, Maine rarely experiences hurricanes, ice storms, or tornadoes. These factors help explain why the coastal region is a safe and popular choice among those looking for a mobile home for sale in Maine.

As the birthplace of iconic poets such as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Edna St. Vincent Millay, Maine has always produced its share of remarkable artists. That tradition continues today through its three oldest institutions of higher learning Bowdoin College, Colby College, and Bates College (together forming the Colby-Bates-Bowdoin Consortium), which is often ranked amongst the top liberal arts colleges in America. 

The state of Maine has 31 colleges and universities divided by 15 public schools and 16 private schools. Most notably is the University of Maine, which is classified among the R2: Doctoral Universities for high research activity. It is the only land-granted university in the state and is home to the only division 1 athletic program, affectionately nicknamed the Black Bears. UMaine’s large student population makes the market for mobile homes for sale in Orono Maine competitive for those wishing to live off-campus. 

The total enrollment in public schools pre-K to grade 12 was 179,986 in 2019. With a slightly aging overall population, Maine’s overall student enrollment is down 4.6% in the last decade.
