With roughly 23,100 residents, Brunswick in Cumberland County is Maine’s seventh-largest municipality. Renters across Downtown Brunswick (Maine Street), Bowdoin College area, Brunswick Landing, Cook's Corner and Mere Point rely on the same fair housing protections, whatever the building or landlord.
