Our Take
Milford offers decent, affordable homes and solid schools, but it’s a car‑centric town with limited dining, nightlife and public transport. It’s a quiet place for families or retirees who don’t mind a 30‑45 minute drive to Wilmington. If you need a lively urban feel or good transit, look elsewhere.
