Late summer in Maine has a magic all its own — golden light, quiet mornings, warm ocean temps, and a little more space to breathe. At Stevens Square at Baxter Woods, a 55+ active lifestyle community in Portland, this season is something to be savored.
A 19-Acre Campus Designed for Connection, Nature & Peace
Located in the heart of Portland, Maine, Stevens Square offers retirement living on a lush, 19-acre campus next to Baxter Woods. It’s a place where you can enjoy the beauty of nature and the ease of a thoughtfully designed community.
As the sun lingers just a little longer and the evening air begins to cool, everything here seems to slow down in the best way. Ocean temperatures are at their warmest. The summer crowds have thinned. And it’s the perfect time to rediscover your own town as if it were new again.

Stroll the walking paths — peaceful, shaded, and perfect for reflection or catching up with a neighbor.
Gather around the community fire pit on crisp evenings for conversation and connection.
Store your kayak with ease using our on-campus kayak racks, ideal for spontaneous adventures to Maine’s nearby lakes and coastline.
