With new, millennial-inspired businesses popping up, our newfound love of Biddeford, Maine inspires us beyond compare! The downtown of Biddeford is rich in history with mill buildings (some renovated and others not yet), ornate storefronts dating back centuries, and modern businesses that bring fresh new life!

Biddeford is nestled along the Saco River and just a stone’s throw from the town of Saco. They’re like sister cities! And Biddeford is situated just 9 miles from the Kennebunks—a popular destination, especially in the summer! 

And don’t get us started on Biddeford Pool! A coastal enclave just a short drive from the downtown area of Biddeford, Biddeford Pool is quiet, quaint, and oh-so-charming! To us, it feels like a throwback town—a small piece of Maine that hasn’t seemed to change for centuries… This is exactly why we find it so perfect. While in Biddeford Pool, we highly recommend taking a bike ride and spending time at beautiful Fortune’s Rocks Beach!
