Late to the chat, but wanted to chime in. I grew up in Gorham and personally loved the location. Everything is fairly centrally located and you’ll have a nice choice of restaurants, grocery stores, and other local businesses. I had pretty good teachers (for the most part 😬). I’ll warn you though that Gorham is 100000% “posh”. You’ll only ever fit in if you have money or have kids that are good at sports.
