Located in the heart of the Lakes Region, Raymond enjoys abounding resources. Recreational amenities are plentiful; and whether you are a visitor or resident, it's a town with a lot to offer.

While Raymond may be a small community with approximately 4,000 year round residents, it provides visitors and residents with a full array of services. Local businesses supply most of life's necessities, and as host to several renowned businesses, many residents are lucky enough both to live and work in town.

The Town of Raymond is located in Maine’s Sebago Lake Region and has a year-round population of 4,436. There are 2 lakes and 5 ponds within Raymond’s geographical boundaries. This waterfront property promotes an active recreation based tourism industry and also accounts for a seasonal increase in population to 12,000.
