The city

Living in Augusta, ME

Augusta is Maine's capital priced for working nurses — cost of living about 10% below the national average, one-bedrooms averaging $984, median homes near $201,000, among the lowest of any real Maine city. This is practical working-city housing, not premium coastal stock. Forty-seven percent of residents rent, so landing a lease is realistic.
