Load moreRenting in Maine
In this corner of the Northeast, Maine rentals are spread between coastal cities, tourist hubs, college towns, and rural inland neighborhoods. While rental demand is mostly targeted toward the southern coast, Portland's job market, seasonal migration to beach towns, and the University of Maine and the University of Southern Maine also fuel the market. College renters and the local workforce drive year-round demand. And during the spring and summer months, tourists frequently look for short-term Maine rentals in Old Orchard Beach, Ogunquit Beach, and Wells Beach.
The price gap between high- and low-cost apartments and houses for rent in Maine is substantial. In the most expensive markets, such as York County's coast and Midcoast Maine, prices can run $1,000+/mo more than in affordable cities. Some of the best places for low rents are typically smaller inland communities and secondary cities, like Bangor and Waterville. Whether you're seeking a furnished short-term rental or a place to settle down for years to come, Rentler lists rental properties across Maine, updated daily when new inventory hits the market.

How to Find Affordable Rentals in Maine
The best way to lock in low housing costs in the Pine Tree State is to look for Maine rentals in inland and northern markets. Some of the most affordable areas are Presque Isle, Lewiston, and Waterville. Compared to major metros and southern beach towns, renters can often find units that are $600–$1,200/mo cheaper.
Besides having affordable apartments in Maine, these low-cost cities offer access to education and healthcare jobs. Additionally, the Maine rentals in these markets are often larger single-family homes and duplexes, compared to the smaller units in coastal resort towns. Overall, remote workers and retirees have the most flexibility, allowing them to prioritize low rents over seaside access, job proximity, and tourist-focused amenities.
Frequently Asked Questions About Renting in Maine
Cities play a large role in rent pricing. In the most expensive markets, such as Portland, both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units carry considerably higher prices. Affordable homes and cheap apartments in Maine tend to be in Presque Isle, with much lower prices for both one-bedroom and two-bedroom units.
With an outdoor lifestyle revolving around hiking trails, lakes, and open green spaces, a large share of Maine's renters have pets. As a result, many properties welcome cats and dogs, as well as smaller household pets. While suburban single-family homes with yards and rural duplexes usually have the highest pet acceptance rates, renters can also find pet-friendly apartments. Maine HOAs and property managers often impose breed and weight restrictions for multifamily units, so it's a good idea to get all the details before you apply. And if you have a service animal or an emotional support animal (ESA), make sure to specify that early on.
Scarborough and Augusta have the largest inventory of senior housing. Maine renters should inquire about waitlists, especially for urban communities in high-competition markets. Some 55+ communities are income-restricted, but limited inventory intensifies delays and wait times. It's always smart to apply early and sign up for multiple properties at once. Check in often to inquire about timing updates so you can plan accordingly. And don't forget to ask about winter accessibility, travel, and snow removal services, especially when looking at senior housing in rural areas.
Coastal communities usually have the largest share of short-term and furnished rentals. Maine's tourist markets and major employment centers are also great places to look. Bar Harbor and Kennebunkport are some of the top areas for flexible leases and fully designed Maine apartments and homes. To narrow your search and save time, use Rentler's 'furnished amenities' and 'lease length' filters.
Luxury homes, Maine townhouse rentals, and high-end apartments are concentrated in southern Maine and coastal markets on the water. Falmouth, Cape Elizabeth, and Old Port are some of the state's most premier areas. Find the top tier of Maine's rental inventory by using Rentler's 'year built' filter and sorting the results by highest price first.
