The city of Ellsworth has a long history. The area on which it now stands was originally inhabited by peoples of the Passamaquoddy and Penobscot tribes. It was later inhabited by early French settlers in the early 1600s. However, its modern history began in the mid-1700s, when it was inhabited by a party led by Benjamin Milliken and Benjamin Joy.

Although not a huge town by any means (it had a population of 7,741 at the 2010 census), Ellsworth appears to be growing fast, with a growth rate of nearly 20 percent between 2000 and 2010. Its historical buildings and various points of interest makes Ellsworth popular with locals and tourists alike.

Moving to Ellsworth

Moving may not be the most fun in the world, but it doesn't have to be a big nightmare. As long as you know what to expect, finding rental housing in Ellsworth should go swimmingly.

Finding a Rental Property

The first thing about trying to rent an apartment or house in the city is knowing where to look. Of course, most people do their business online these days, so you'll be most likely to find a suitable property online. However, if you have access to local papers, you might find some homes that way. It's a good idea to start looking at least four to six weeks before the date on which you want to move. You might find somewhere in much less time than that, but the best house and apartment rentals can go quickly and you don't want to end up living in a tumbledown shack just because it's the only property left on the market.

What Happens Next

Once you've found a place you like, you'll need to approach the landlord and sort out the details. Your potential landlord will probably want to see proof of income, your credit history and references from previous landlords, just to make sure you'll be a good tenant. If and when you get approved, you'll usually have to sign a tenancy agreement, plus pay a month's rent upfront and a security deposit.

Neighborhoods in Ellsworth

You'll find all sorts of places to live in Ellsworth, but the type of property you're looking for will probably dictate which neighborhood you want to live in. Some areas will primarily contain particular types of homes, so do your research before you decide which neighborhoods interest you.

City Center: If you want to be close to the action (or what passes for action in Ellsworth at least), this is where to live. You'll be near a range of shops from the Art Song Gallery to the Friends and Family Market. You'll find mostly apartment complexes and some townhouses in this area. There are a good number of historic buildings.

North Ellsworth: Surrounded by lakes and open spaces, this neighborhood has a rural appeal. You'll share the area with Branch Lake and parts of Green Lake and Graham Lake. You'll mostly find medium-sized and large houses in this area.

Surry: Although not far from the center of town, you'll have to traverse a channel of Graham Lake to get there (don't worry, there's a bridge!). There's a mixture of houses and apartment complexes in this area. You'll find a number of things to do in the area, such as visit the Woodlawn Museum or grab a bite at the Cookie Nook Bakery.

Besides, most people come for the birds and to hike the trails around the museum. If history's your thing, you have to take a trip to the Woodlawn Museum.
