Money Magazine has ranked Milton in the top 10 “Best Places to Live’’ 3 times just in the past decade so you know you're on to something good when you're considering moving to Milton. It has a rich and vibrant history and continues to thrive as an affluent suburb of Boston. Milton has a varied demographic which makes it a very interesting place to live. The magazine cited Milton's tree lined streets, proximity to Boston, stable home prices, and its school system. "Milton is just minutes from the jobs and culture of Boston but feels in places like a country getaway,'' the magazine wrote. "One major reason for this stability is the outstanding school system, which boasts six brand-new buildings and offers such rich opportunities as a French immersion program that begins in elementary school. The downside: high taxes.'' "While none of the town's 27,000 residents like having to pay higher taxes to sustain town services, residents appreciate what they have and do what they must to sustain it. Because of that, folks in town enjoy higher property values", responded a town official.

Jim Sells Milton - Transportation in Milton

Transportation around Milton

Milton is a prime choice for those who commute into the city along I-93 and I-95 if you can avoid driving during rush hour. Unfortunately, mass transit or rapid transit is not readily available. To take advantage of the Milton Trolley, you need to live on the northeast side and catch it from one of the four stations between Mattapan and Ashmont Stations - Milton, Central Avenue, Valley Road, and Capen Street - where you can then grab the T. Alternatively, if you live on the east side near Quincy there is the 215 bus. Locally, you might enjoy cycling. The opening of the Neponset River Greenway reconnected Milton with Boston Harbor via Port Norfolk, Dorchester. Other cycling routes and locations include Turner's Pond, Brook Road, Blue Hills Parkway, Milton Cemetery, and the Pine Tree Brook greenway.
