Cumberland, located between Falmouth and North Yarmouth, is a residential and rural Cumberland Center neighborhood with a village green and wooded backroads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Cumberland Center crossroads near Greely High School, where a small-town cluster of local shops and everyday errands meets school-day energy. The Cumberland Farmers’ Market and Cumberland Town Hall anchor the civic rhythm, while Val Halla Golf & Recreation keeps recreation close to home. Architecture leans toward classic New England capes and colonials, with newer builds tucked along winding lanes. Open fields and trail corridors shape a quiet, outdoors-forward routine.
