Historic mill apartments near downtown Sanford

Set in Sanford, ME, this renovated 1915 mill building features 43 residential units with vinyl plank flooring, ample closet space, and elevator access. The secure building includes on-site laundry, pet-friendly policies for cats and dogs, and sits in the Sanford Mill Historic District near Gowen Park and Central Park Downtown.

Summary of resident reviews

Sanford Mill residents praise the safe, clean environment and responsive property manager Lauren who handles maintenance promptly. Many love the mill aesthetic with exposed brick, high ceilings, and large windows. The building offers good security, convenient laundry, and friendly neighbors. However, thin walls allow noise transfer between units, and some report marijuana odors in hallways despite no-smoking policies. Parking requires permits or using off-site lots. While most find it reasonably priced, some consider it overpriced for the location.
