Rent to own Homes in Westbrook, ME

With a population of around 17,741, Westbrook is just five miles from Portland, but seems ideally removed from the city. The scenic beauty of the Presumpscot and Stroudwater Rivers, which flow directly through Westbrook, enhance the quality of living. This Portland suburb has a small-town dynamic, yet it's the US headquarters of multinational technology developers IDEXX Laboratories. Westbrook has moderately cold winters tempered by summers in the upper 70s, and the city boasts an abundance of outdoor parks and seasonal skating rinks.

Westbrook, ME is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $71,183 and a median rent of $1,076, the Westbrook, ME rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Westbrook, ME. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.
