Down East Selects Best Place to Live in Maine!

For those looking for all things Maine, the go-to magazine is Down East. Since 1954, the goal of Down East has always been to hold a mirror up to Maine its storied past and lively present and to celebrate its flinty, independent character and unhurried way of life.

The folks at Down East recently had an online tournament bracket seeded with 16 of their favorite towns, selected by their editors. Thousands of readers voted in four elimination rounds and selected on a winner-take-all outstanding Maine hometown. No surprise, the idyllic Maine mountain town of Rangeley came out on top. Congratulations Rangeley!
