Frontrunner Park is a compact, highly walkable new residential neighborhood at the former Scarborough Downs property in Southern Maine. Frontrunner is built for walking and transit with sidewalks, pocket parks, and porches lining the streetscape. Frontrunner is one of the first communities in Maine to employ a street and lane pattern where lanes permit vehicle access in the rear and allow homes to face directly onto parks and streetscapes without interruption of driveways and parking lots. Frontrunner is a shining example how communities can incorporate density while maintaining a residential look and feel.
