About Androscoggin County, Maine

Androscoggin County sits in south-central Maine, about 35 miles north of Portland, and is anchored by the twin cities of Lewiston and Auburn on either side of the Androscoggin River. Lewiston is Maine's second-largest city, and together the two cities offer colleges, hospitals, restaurants and a growing downtown arts scene. Around them, towns like Poland, Turner, Greene, Lisbon and Sabattus offer lakefront homes, farmland and quiet rural roads. Homes here are generally more affordable than in Cumberland County: the median sale price for the July through September 2026 quarter was $345,000, compared with $614,950 in Cumberland County, according to Maine Listings. That value draws first-time buyers, investors and families who want more space. Our team can help you compare towns, understand commute times and find the right home or investment property in the county.

Families in the county are served by local districts, including Lewiston Public Schools, the Auburn School Department, home of Edward Little High School, and the Lisbon School Department, along with regional districts that serve the smaller towns. Higher education is a major strength: Bates College, Central Maine Community College and the University of Southern Maine's Lewiston-Auburn campus are all here.

Commuting

The Maine Turnpike runs through Lewiston and Auburn, so driving to Portland usually takes about 45 minutes, and Augusta is about the same distance to the north.
