1552 Congress St #2, Portland, ME 04102

Are you looking for an apartment where the owners actually care about the building? Where they make improvements that create a home and not just a place to live? Do you want landlords you can actually talk to instead of just going through a portal? You've found it! We purchased this building last year and have already done so many renovations. We have a list of exterior upgrades planned as well and will tackle those when the weather permits and include painting the exterior, fencing to create cozy yard space for all to enjoy. We don't want to just be absentee landlords. We want to provide the best we are able for people to call home, because we live here too! 1552 Congress St. is walking distance to Fore River Sanctuary hiking and biking trails. Conveniently located near all major highways, Thompsons Point and city amenities. Driveway and entrance are off a quiet side street. Parking is plentiful on the street and we can surely make space for a couple of cars in the yard should there be a parking ban.
