Maine is the #2 State for Best Quality of Life, and the #3 Safest State in the US. Turner is a rural town of 6000 covering a large, historically agricultural area west of Augusta – and north of Lewiston and Auburn, home to more than 100,000 people and many amenities. This diverse community boasts an active arts scene for music and theatre, organized sports for every age, and strong educational offerings. Lewiston is the site of Bates College, a top ranked Liberal Arts college. Lewiston hosts an annual Balloon Festival that delights thousands of families.

The Turner area offers scenic hiking/biking trails, placid lakes and peaceful rivers (and waterfront homes), plus award-winning golf courses. You can enjoy the waterways via kayak or canoe, motorboat or pontoon – whatever speed you enjoy. Winter sports include cross country skiing, snowmobiling and snow shoeing – with easy proximity to downhill ski resorts, including a popular family facility right in Lewiston.

Turner is an hour from Portland, just named #1 Most Livable in the US. Check out the nightlife in the popular Old Port district. Dine in your choice of hundreds of fantastic seafood and other award winning restaurants. Fly from the convenient international Jetport.
