Auburn is located 35 miles southwest of the capital city of Augusta, 40 miles north of Portland, 30 miles from the coast, and only 60 miles from the renoun Sugarloaf Ski Area, towards the southern tip of Maine and all accessible via major Interstates and Highway routes.

Predominantly a mill-town in the past, a diverse collection of manufacturing, hi-tech industry, and retail have come to settle in Auburn, partly due to great business incentives and packages but all agree that a highly-skilled workforce, a hometown atmosphere, and the preservation of Maine's natural beauty are the real reasons why so many are choosing to call Auburn home.

No matter what type of lifestyle you are looking for, Auburn is the place for living it. An array of housing options will be sure to please any budget and the selection of styles are as diverse as Auburn's population. Individuals and families alike are the key to Auburn's commitment in supporting the community's recreational, cultural and social opportunities. Over 475 acres of parkland are expertly maintained offering miles and miles of trails surrounded by spectacular views and scenery. Athletic fields host a number of organized programs for all ages along with lighted tennis courts, horseshoe pitches, and new, modern "tot lots" for the wee ones. The Ingersoll Arena features an indoor skating and hockey facility while Apetite Park highlights cross-country skiing and gem exploration. A new Riverwalk has been completed sporting trails providing easy access to the many areas of Auburn as well as just strolling along the river's edge, taking in the splendor of Maine.

The downtown district is undergoing progressive changes but keeping within the impressive architectual histories of the city and maintaining Auburn's pride in its past. Quaint shops, fabulous restaurants, community resources, and lots of friendly faces can be found along the downtown streets. Seasonal parades, events and celebrations can also be found in the avenues including summer concerts, the relatively new Liberty Festival celebrating July 5th, Festival de Joie celebrating culture and ethnic traditions, the Great Falls Hot Air Balloon Festival, and many, many more.
