Sylvan Sites - South Portland

Welcome to Sylvan Sites - South Portland

Frederick Wheeler Hinckley, an attorney and later mayor of South Portland had quite the side hustle: designing an building houses. 

He began what would eventually become Sylvan Sites in 1907 with just one house which he built for his bride. He went on to build a total of 37 homes, designing each himself in many styles including Spanish, Tudor, Colonial Revival, Italianate, and Craftsman. 

Home Sales: 5

Price range: $399,999 - $1,235,000 Average price: $744,800

The average home price in South Portland has risen roughly 65% over the last three years, from about $300,000 to nearly $500,000. As a small and coveted neighborhood with easy access to Portland, Sylvan Sites likely increased by as much or more than greater South Portland.
