Campus Amenities
Interspersed between and around the Stevens Square condominiums is ample green gathering spaces including a community common, gardens, a historic reflection garden, bike and kayak racks, fire pits, patios and more.
Plus, our 19-acre campus includes a community center and historic architecture with gathering space all just steps from Deering Center, Portland’s best neighborhood.
Common Rooms and Decks
Each building has a large furnished common deck and on another floor, a large, furnished common room with a warming kitchen. They are designed to give you space to commune with your neighbors or a space to host a larger gathering of your own.
Community Fire Pits
An outdoor space with seating behind the buildings to encourage you to gather around the fire on your own or with friends, families, and neighbors.
Gardens
Each building has an active gardening committee open to all residents that like to get their hands in the dirt.
Dog Washing Station
A dedicated area in the garage allows you to easily give your dog a bath and save your home from the hassle and mess of the task.
Parking
One climate-controlled indoor parking space is designated to each home and wired to add electric car plug-ins if desired.
Storage
There is an additional storage locker at your parking space for overflow items.
Private Decks
Most homes have their own deck. The individual outdoor space is accessed through a sliding door off the living room and has plenty of room for some furniture and/or garden boxes.
Elevator
Each building has a large elevator so you can enjoy both the ease of one-level living and the light and elevated views of living above the ground level.
Guest Room
There is an overnight guest room on campus available to rent for a nominal fee.
Stevens Square Community Center

Baxter Woods
The 30-acre Mayor Baxter Woods, “forever kept in its natural wild state and as a sanctuary for birds,” is directly connected to Stevens Square. It is predominantly forested by old stands of red oak, white oak, white pine, hemlock and other species between 180-200 years in age…right in the heart of the city!
It’s your perfect opportunity to commune with nature and use the trail system right out your door. And it’s dog friendly!
Gathering Space
While Stevens Square homeowners will live in modern condominium homes, they have access to a spectacular and historic former chapel as space for resident organized activities and gatherings.
The gathering space is located within the impeccably restored Motherhouse, the heart of Deering Center since 1908. It adds a sense of history and vintage architecture to contemporary 55+ living and retiring to Maine.
