Our Take
Milford offers solid family-friendly amenities and good schools with a low cost of living, but it lacks walkability and robust transit options. It’s a comfortable spot for commuters heading to Wilmington or nearby areas, though those looking for nightlife or an urban feel might need to look elsewhere.
