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.
Where is Milton?
Milton is located just 8 miles south of Boston and all the history, shopping, restaurants and cultural events it has to offer. The community, borders 7,000 acres of conservation land called the Blue Hills as well as the Neponset River with water access to Boston Harbor through the Neponset Estuary. Milton is unique in that it has the most privately and publicly conserved land within 20 miles of Boston. To the northwest it borders the Boston neighborhoods of Readville, Hyde Park, and Mattapan, to the east Quincy, and to the south Braintree and Canton.
Recreational Activities
If you prefer the outdoors, Milton has the Wollaston Golf Club for duffers, Houghton's Pond for fishermen and swimming, Caldwell Pond at Cunningham Park - outdoor swimming pool, and trails upon trails to hike or ride horseback on. There is also alpine skiing available at Blue Hills Ski Area, consisting of eight trails served by a double chair and two surface lifts. Great Blue Hill in the Blue Hills Reservation is the highest point in Norfolk County, and at 635 feet (194 m), is the highest point within 10 miles of the Atlantic coast south of central Maine, making it an important weather observatory and radio and television transmitter site - the well-known Boston public television and radio station WGBH takes its call letters from Great Blue Hill, the original location of the station's FM and TV transmitters. Jim and his wife enjoy hiking its splendid trails and taking in the panoramic views of the metropolitan area. Great Blue Hill is also home to the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory, the foremost structure associated with the history of weather observations in the United States.

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.
