South Berwick is a vibrant mid-size Maine community located on the New Hampshire border. With a population of 7,000 plus, South Berwick has experienced almost a 50% growth in population since 1980, making it one of the fastest-growing towns in Maine. With its rural New England flavor and proximity to Boston, MA, Portsmouth, NH, Portland, ME, and the stunning Maine coast, South Berwick is truly a great place to call home.
