A growing coastal town shaped by marshes, beaches, neighborhoods, health care, and business corridors.
Scarborough stretches from the Greater Portland employment area to the Atlantic coast and contains multiple village, commercial, residential, agricultural, and natural-resource areas. It is not a single compact downtown market, so location and service-area details matter for local business discovery.
The 2020 Census counted 22,135 residents, up from 18,919 in 2010. Scarborough also draws workers, patients, shoppers, contractors, and visitors from South Portland, Portland, Cape Elizabeth, Gorham, Buxton, Saco, Old Orchard Beach, and communities across Southern Maine.
Route 1, Interstate 95, the Maine Turnpike, Haigis Parkway, Gorham Road, Payne Road, and coastal roads connect major employers, health services, retailers, restaurants, offices, neighborhoods, beaches, and industrial areas.

Population growth and varied land uses create broad local business needs.
Scarborough’s continued residential and commercial growth creates opportunities, but customers still need businesses that understand the town’s distinct coastal, marsh, village, highway, and rural settings.
Homes & new development
Established neighborhoods, new housing, apartments, senior communities, and mixed-use projects need contractors, cleaning, landscaping, moving, real estate, insurance, maintenance, and personal services. Profiles should state which property types they serve.
Health & employment centers
Medical facilities, offices, schools, retailers, business parks, and major employers bring workers and customers from across the region. Appointment information, accessibility, commercial capability, and reliable scheduling improve discovery.
Farms, marsh & coast
Rural roads, farms, wetlands, beaches, and coastal neighborhoods require different approaches to drainage, excavation, property care, utilities, seasonal schedules, and environmental review. Relevant local experience should be easy to find.
