Hi all,
I'm moving back to Maine after over a decade of living out of state, and need a reality check on rental prices in Bangor. I know what I can afford, but I want to hear from people who currently live here - what is a normal market rate range for one bedrooms with standard amenities?
I know this is a huge point of contention because the cost of living is insane, which is part of why I'm asking. I've seen some rentals posted asking what I consider Boston locality prices, in a town that is very far from having the Boston locality job market.
I was told by a management company representative that staying under $1400/month with all utilities included would be difficult. I expect a management company to be pushing for profit, but is $1400 for a one bedroom really "cheap" in Bangor now?
Edit: thank you all for your responses! I hate to see the struggle for such a basic human need but you all have given me some good perspective.
Im from the brockton, Massachusetts area originally, but moved away for a long time and have recently moved to maine.
I miss going into the dive/bar and getting that good thin crust pizza, with the oregano and the little white plastic table things in the middle of the box
Are there any good bar pizza joints here? Do yall know what im asking for? Ahhhh im going crazy lol
Thanks yall 😂
It turns out, shockingly, that the Maine Wire is full of it. I stand proudly with the LGBTQ+ community, today and every day. Happy Pride to all!
Saw this sub has been doing better and it might be worth it to post!
Yikes. These outhouses are nasty and the fact that City Council would sanction something like this as an amenity diminishes Bangors status.

Bangor has become very liberal, it's almost too gay.... also did you now if you combine 4 lgbtq flags they form a swastika?
Much has been said about these two individuals from mainstream media sources and the like. Today I ask those in Maine to share their perspectives and thoughts on the upcoming race for senate so we may hear from the people directly affected by their leadership. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your responses.

I’ve really enjoyed Hermon Pond, Fields Pond, Silver Lake, and the Kenduskeag Stream. Any other suggestions within an hour’s drive?
The article isn't telling you all of the facts. The 14 year old "victim" was supposedly spewing rightwing misinformation and spouting MAGA propaganda that made the 18 year old feel very uncomfortable. For example, some say that the 14 year old was calling Graham Platner a nazi simply because of that tattoo. I think rational people are sick and tired of that talking point. We need to protest against the school-to-prison pipeline, and Scott James should be grateful for the education his 14 year old son received.
I recently came back to the Bangor area and I’m looking for clubs, upbeat bars, raves, anything nightlife. Ive been to a few bars but it’s all like cozy casual bars with mostly drunks who are 45+ and I want dance floors, DJ’s, open bars, people around my age (I’m 24)
Also super open to new friends (women)
if you have recommendations and want to tag along I would be so down, I need more girlfriends to go out and party with🙏🏻
Edit- thank you all for your input by the sounds of it I should have never left Portland lmao, of course now that I’m of age and want to be part of the party scene I’ve moved away from it😭
