Bar Harbor is less a destination and more a way of life. Daily rhythms are shaped by ocean air, ever-changing coastal light, and proximity to some of Maine’s most iconic landscapes—sunrises from Cadillac Mountain, walks along the Shore Path, sailing from the town pier, and miles of carriage roads and granite cliffs within Acadia National Park. Elegant homes are tucked into private neighborhoods yet remain moments from refined dining, boutiques, and cultural events in the village. For luxury buyers and sellers, Bar Harbor offers enduring value through its limited inventory, protected natural beauty, and globally recognized attractions that continue to draw discerning homeowners seeking both exclusivity and an authentic coastal lifestyle.
2,311 people live in Bar Harbor, where the median age is 47 and the average individual income is $40,527. Data provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
