"The 10 Most Dangerous Places In Maine" And We Need A $1.3 plus Million Dollar Police Force For What?

"Maine may be one of the safest states in the country, but clearly, that doesn’t mean that all of its places are free from crime."

Looking for a new place to live in the Northeast? We don’t blame you if you’re feeling a little bit stressed. Not because there aren’t many good options. As a matter of fact, quite the opposite. It seems like the whole area is dotted with charming cities and towns with good school districts, rich culture, and low crime rates. In fact, in another recent post here at the Movoto Real Estate blog, we found that many of safest states in the nation are located in the northeast.

But just like anywhere else, with the good also comes the bad. With the safe, the dangerous. And that’s what we’re focusing on today, specifically in Maine.

6. City of Portland
7. City of Sanford
8. City of Auburn
9. City of South Portland
10. City of Lewiston
