Old New England charm with a beachy vibe
Downtown Milford is a boater’s paradise. Its location on the Long Island Sound and its many docks along the Milford Harbor, which runs vertically through the middle of the neighborhood, makes it easy to spend an afternoon on the water. However, there is so much more to this coastal community than boating. "It's an old New England town with a town center, so it has that authentic feel, especially being on the water," says Wojtek Borowski, a Realtor with Pearce Real Estate and a New Haven resident for over 30 years.

Silver Sands Park is a popular summer spot
Residents get easy access to Silver Sands Park, popular in the summer for its beaches, boardwalk, and Long Island Sound. The park also offers fishing, and it's common to find anglers pulling striped bass and summer flounder out of the water. For exercise, locals head to Wilcox Park, where area kids play ball on the multiple baseball fields, and friends challenge each other to a match on the tennis courts. And while not a traditional park, the Milford Green is a popular green space featuring a gazebo and benches for relaxing, tall shady trees and open space for kids to run and play.
Enjoy family time or take a swim at Silver Sands State Park in Milford.
