Gorham was founded in the mid-1700s, and today it's a town that's home to about 7,000 people. Once an industrial hub, today Gorham is simply a lovely New England city where people can access the excitement of Portland when they want, and get some suburban peace and quiet too.

Moving to Gorham

If you want to find property rentals in Gorham, the first step is to get ready to apply to lease a rental apartment. It might seem early to prepare for an application when you haven't found your dream home for rent yet but trust us, it's not! Places to live can be highly sought-after in this town, and if you find a great rental, you're going want to be ready to jump on it so no one else beats you out for it. Gather copies of your ID, your bank statements, pay stubs, proof of income, a letter of employment, and anything else that you think is going to make you look good on paper. Also, prepare to make a deposit when you find an apartment you like. That's the only way to secure it as your own!
