Milton, MAInc. 1640
Milton is an affluent town immediately south of Boston, stretching from the Neponset River marshes on the north to the Blue Hills Reservation on the south. The town's neighborhoods range from the dense, urban-edge areas near Mattapan Square — which feel more like Boston than suburb — to the wooded, estate-like properties in the Blue Hills area. The housing stock includes grand colonials along Adams Street, modest post-war homes in East Milton, and everything in between.
For property professionals, Milton's proximity to Boston, its school system, and its range of neighborhoods create a market with significant internal variation. Assessed values in the Blue Hills area can be multiples of those near the Mattapan border, and the housing types span from urban multi-family to suburban estate. The Neponset River marshes bring flood zone considerations for the northern properties.
