At nearly 30 percent less than Portland, ME, Bangor is an extremely affordable choice, with housing being as much as 40% less than the national average. A small apartment usually goes for around $800 to $850 a month, and can be found for less, if you're willing to part with some common amenities (such as a pool or exercise center), or if you don't mind a little bit longer drive into the city.
Being a medium sized city certainly has some upsides, and the variety of restaurants in Bangor is certainly one of them. If you're looking for some fresh seafood, the Lobstah Buoy has you covered, and if you want to try a northern take on some classic Alabama-style BBQ, consider Moe's Original BBQ Restaurant. In addition, you'll find all the staples of good old american food, from pizza to pubs to sports bars all within walking distance of the center of the city.
