• Brunswick apartments near campus designed for 'roommate-free' living (mainebiz.biz subscription) — A Portland developer's new Brunswick apartment project highlights a growing demand for smaller, one-bedroom units, a trend they're also seeing at their 84-unit redevelopment of the former Nasson College campus in Sanford. For Sanford residents, that means continued strong interest in local one-bedroom apartments, as builders respond to rising construction costs and renters' preference for more affordable, roommate-free living.
