About Milton
Settled in 1640, Milton is a wonderful blend of historic New England and a strong urban flair. Situated just 8 miles from Downtown Boston in the shadows of the Blue Hills Reservation, both young professionals and families alike are attracted to Milton for its beautiful homes, historically strong public school system, parks and green spaces, and its close proximity to major highways and public transportation. In fact, Money Magazine ranked Milton one of the "Top 10 places to live in America" in 2007.
