With a mere 20,000 people Augusta is one of the most unlikely state capitals in the Union, but it is one of the most pleasantly surprising. With a beautiful river running through the downtown, the city is as cloaked in mystery as it is open for business.

Augusta is a world-class capital city where entrepreneurs start, grow, and maintain a variety of businesses. Citizens pursue life-long learning in first-rate schools, libraries, historic, and cultural facilities. Residents, workers, and tourists circulate around and enjoy the Heart of Augusta - on both sides of the Kennebec River, along Water Street, and throughout the Capitol complex.

Travelers appreciate Augusta's historic and natural scenery. Homebuyers and renters of all ages and incomes are drawn by safe and appealing neighborhoods, competitive tax rates, and superior services. Plus, the market for homes is growing at a very healthy rate, as more and more people (seniors especially) are fleeing the hustle and bustle of the city to find a more peaceful life in the small town.

Plus, Augusta’s status as a state capital ensures that as long as there is a Maine and a United States there will be people looking for houses in the area.
