Milton is quiet but close to Boston, affluent but diverse, and it has a lot of outdoor activities to offer. The Blue Hills Reservation is located primarily within Milton and is one of the most scenic and attractive places to go in Norfolk County, and in my opinion, all of New England. It is the immediate southern suburb of Boston, bordering the Mattapan, Hyde Park, and Dorchester neighborhoods of the city. It is located within 15 miles of Downtown Boston & Logan Airport, and is located right along I-93, carrying lots of traffic from Boston to its southern suburbs. Real estate in the town is not ideal, but it is definitely worth a look if you want to live in a charming and accessible suburb of Boston.
Lived in Milton for about 10 years and moved to Texas for work recently. I can't speak highly enough about the wonderful people we've met there and all this small town has to offer. The schools were great! My husband and I had 3 kids in the elementary schools and one that attended Pierce Middle school and we never had an issue. If you're looking for a quiet, safe town with great schools to raise small children- this should be high on your list!
Beautiful town bordering Boston to the south. Affluent yet diverse. Sadly it’s becoming crazily overpriced, but it’s worth it in my opinion. Highly rated schools, beautiful neighborhoods for walking, and tons of great activities in and around the town. Happy to have moved here.
