Augusta's location to anywhere in Maine is prime.
Many people commute here from all over the state.
Both Portland and Bangor are less than an hour's drive. On the other hand, many have chosen to relocate here. The capital here is said to be one of the most beautiful capitals in the country. The Kennebec River still delivers many people on a spectacular river voyage down to Merry Meeting Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Opportunities for indoor and outdoor recreation are exceptional.
