Atlantic Heights
on the southern Maine coast
The community The Cottages at Atlantic Heights is a Maine housing cooperative — 46 privately owned cottage homes nestled along well-tended boulevards in Saco, just off Ferry Road, surrounded by tall pines and established neighborhoods.
Life here is genuinely neighborly. A place small enough that you'll know everyone by name, and warm enough that most residents say the same thing: they wish they'd come sooner.
Resident-owned CooperativeAs a shareholder, you’ll enjoy your own private cottage and a real say in how your community is run. Along with a vote in governance, you get priority access to healthcare and a neighborhood of friendly folks who truly look out for one another.

Nestled amongst long-established residential neighborhoods in Saco, Maine, The Cottages at Atlantic Heights Association, a Maine housing cooperative, offers owners a setting that assures unsurpassed active, independent living with comprehensive health-care services on site. 2 Breakwater Way is a stand-alone cottage with 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms - with sunny living spaces throughout.
This 2013 cottage runs 2,800 square feet and is built for one-floor living when you want it. The main level holds an updated kitchen, a separate dining room, and a private first-floor office — the kind of dedicated workspace that's hard to find in a cottage and easy to appreciate. The primary suite is also on the main floor, with its own door out to the deck. That deck is the centerpiece. It's generous enough to host a real dinner party and framed by mature, established landscaping, with the kind of privacy that makes morning coffee outside a habit rather than an occasion.
This 2,100-square-foot cottage is designed to live fully on one floor. The first level is open-concept, anchored by a chef's kitchen and filled with natural light through the day. A gas fireplace warms the main living area, with a large built-in entertainment center already in place. The primary suite is on the main floor and carries two oversized walk-in closets — three full bathrooms across the home mean no one's ever waiting. Set toward the back of the campus, the cottage looks out onto woods rather than neighbors. The view from the windows is trees, not traffic. Downstairs, a full walkout basement sits unfinished and ready — easy to convert into living space, or to keep as the kind of storage most cottages can't offer. There's room here to grow into, on your terms. Move-in ready, low-maintenance, and quiet at the edge of the community.

-
When you purchase a cottage at Atlantic Heights, you own specific stock in the housing cooperative — not a rental, not a lease. As a shareholder you have a vote in how the community is governed, the same mortgage interest and real estate tax deductions as individual homeowners, and the protection of the Gain Sharing™ Program when you sell.
-
The Cottages are independently owned residential homes. The Inn (assisted living) and Seal Rock (skilled nursing) are operated separately by First Atlantic Healthcare on the same campus. Cottage homeowners have priority access to both — so if your needs change over time, you don't have to leave the community you know.
-
Dogs and cats are welcome. Other pets are considered on a case-by-case basis. There is a pet application process.
-
When you sell your cottage, you're guaranteed ninety percent of the appreciated resale value — not just your initial investment back. The Atlantic Heights sales team handles the resale marketing at the annually determined price. Consult your tax advisor regarding capital gains treatment for cooperative housing.

Quite a lot. Exercise groups, book discussions, movie nights, arranged trips to Portland for performances and events. The Inn's heated indoor pool hosts water volleyball. The warming tub is always open. Life here is as active as you want it to be.
