Property taxes are high. There are a few areas with incredible views of the mountains and other areas that are bleak views of asbestos shingled tenement housing and cracked concrete sidewalks. I used to LOVE shopping at the local thrift store there.

If I had to choose, I’d live in Gorham. I like how the town has had some tangible economic growth (big day brewing, art gallery, some new restaurants). When I lived there people were very easy to talk to/befriend. (Never lived in Berlin, just Gorham.)
