Of important note, Mount Desert is also a town of artists. Mount Desert has more artists, designers and people working in media than 90% of the communities in America. This concentration of artists helps shape Mount Desert's character.

Mount Desert is a major vacation destination. Much of the town's population is seasonal: many people own second homes and only live there part-time, during the vacation season. The effect on the local economy is that many of the businesses are dependant on tourist dollars, and may operate only during the high season. As the vacation season ends, Mount Desert's population drops significantly, such that year-round residents will notice that the city is a much quieter place to live.

One of the nice things about Mount Desert is that is it nautical, meaning that parts of the town are somewhat historic and on the ocean, or touch tidal bodies of water, such as inlets and tidal rivers. Because of this, visitors and locals will often go to these areas to take in the scenery or to enjoy waterfront activities.

Residents of the town have the good fortune of having one of the shortest daily commutes compared to the rest of the country. On average, they spend only 18.14 minutes getting to work every day.

As is often the case in a small town, Mount Desert doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
