Characteristics

Transportation

This community is an extraordinarily convenient part of the Bangor metropolitan area for traveling by car. It is very easy to access a place to park, and most houses for sale are a rather short drive from the closest highway, such as I-95. A majority of the homes for sale in this community are located in areas that are not very conducive to pedestrians since running daily errands is inconvenient without a car. It is also very hard to commute by bike in Hampden as the terrain is not especially flat, and there are very few bike lanes.

Services

Home buyers in Hampden generally have to rely on a car to reach the closest grocery store. A small selection of restaurants and coffee shops is available as well. Concerning education, high schools and primary schools are not plentiful in Hampden, and therefore not always within a short distance.

Character

Home buyers who prefer a slower-paced environment will enjoy Hampden. Hampden is quiet overall, as there isn't a lot of street noise or city clamor - although that is not the case closer to one of the railway lines, I-95 or the airport (Brewer).
