“I remember looking with my daughter for a new home close to my son in Oxford, Maine. OceanView was the first place we saw and after that nothing else measured up.”

We are so excited to kick off our 25th year! While our Main Lodge Expansion finishes up, we had a party to to celebrate the history and memories since OceanView was completed back in the fall of 1986. When our first residents moved in, there was no online shopping or text messaging, and the average gallon of gas was 89 cents. Read more
Despite a down economy, slow home sales, and uncertainty about the future, locally-owned OceanView at Falmouth, a 60 acre retirement community just minutes from downtown Portland, is currently finalizing a large construction project, expanding their Main Lodge with 27 luxury apartments. A major project, despite the economy, was 90% sold out prior to construction beginning in the fall of 2010. The final few apartments have subsequently been sold prior to completion and now have a waiting list. With gas fireplaces, spacious floor plans, and balconies or patios, many of these large two bedroom, two bathroom apartments overlook Casco Bay and Portland. New residents are moving into their customized new apartments between Halloween and Christmas. Read more
For the next 25 years…and beyond!
Did you know that OceanView makes smart growth a core part of its mission? In addition to preserving mature trees throughout our 60-acre campus, developing walking trails so we can enjoy those lovely acres, maintaining dedicated open space as conservation land, and supporting the Portland METRO to reduce cars on the road, our owner John Wasileski has conscientiously committed to alternative energy and solar power to help reduce our corporate carbon footprint. Being environmentally responsible is a big piece of the OceanView at Falmouth culture. Read more

“A moment to reflect: I realized how lucky I am and how much healthier this was for me. I was among friends, staying active, and keeping up with the world. Yes, this was a good retirement life. Better than being alone on Neal Street, albeit the phone would ring and cards would be displayed on the table. Oh, my friends still call but now they may have to leave messages on my phone! This, yes, this was much better. Not just for me, but for my family’s peace of mind also. Read more
Construction in the Main Lodge Expansion is continuing to proceed quickly and smoothly. Despite weather challenges in Maine, exterior finish work and roofing in the South Wing are almost complete. Interior drywall, cabinetry, flooring, and millwork in the East Wing are also moving right along. Decorative stone walls, additional landscaping, and site work are also wrapping up around the North parking lot, East Wing, and courtyard areas.
The Main Lodge Expansion is moving closer to completion! The roof of the South Wing will be finished within the next two weeks. The interior finish work in the East Wing is ongoing and the South Wing interior finish work will begin as soon as it is framed in and watertight with windows and siding. Read more
