Classic New England Charm

Stanwood Park is one of South Portland's most tucked-away, sought-after pockets. A quiet residential neighborhood tucked between Willard Beach and the Spring Point area, giving residents that rare combination of neighborhood calm and true walkability to the water.

Homes here tend to be classic New England capes and cottages, many dating back to the early-to-mid 1900s, set on tree-lined streets with genuine curb appeal. Residents are just three miles to Willard Beach and the Spring Point Ledge Light, as well as the Southern Maine Community College campus with its waterfront walking paths and views across the harbor to Portland.

Stanwood Park is one of those rare neighborhoods that feels both rooted and remarkably convenient.

Hinkley Park

Hinckley Park's trails offer several loop and short-hike options winding around ponds fed by Kimball Brook, passing through shoreline, woods, and fields, with bridges, benches, and mini waterfalls at each pond's outlet.

Tucked within a quiet South Portland neighborhood, this location offers the best of both worlds, easy access to everyday conveniences just minutes away, plus a quick commute into downtown Portland.

Just a short drive to South Portland's favorite green spaces, including Hinckley Park, Mill Creek Park, and Willard Beach, and Bug Light Park located nearby.

The area is also close to grocery stores and local restaurants at Mill Creek Shopping Center, along with nearby schools and the South Portland Community Center.

Points of Interest

Nestled next to busy Highland Avenue, Hinckley Park offers 40 acres, two scenic ponds and even fresh water fishing (license required). One of the most popular walks is to go all the way around both ponds, a distance of approximately 3/4 mile. You can extend your walk by taking the wooded trail up to Stillman Street, on the western end of the park.
Just minutes from home, the South Portland Community Center (21 Nelson Rd) offers residents an indoor pool, full gymnasium, indoor walking track, and a full slate of fitness classes and youth programs. A true neighborhood hub for staying active year-round.
This scenic park offers sweeping views of Portland Harbor and the city skyline, along with the iconic Portland Breakwater Lighthouse and the Liberty Ship Memorial honoring the area's WWII shipbuilding history. With wide-open lawns, walking paths, and easy access to the Eastern Trail, it's a favorite spot for picnics, kite-flying, and evening strolls year-round.
With a duck pond, walking paths, and room to relax, it's a favorite spot for a quiet stroll or weekend picnic — plus it hosts summer concerts and community events throughout the year. The adjacent Mill Creek Shopping Center makes it easy to grab a coffee or run errands before or after a visit.
Willard Beach offers a charming slice of coastal Maine right in South Portland.
