A more rural lifestyle
Those of a certain vintage will no doubt remember the “Choose Your Own Adventure” series of books. Young readers would get to the bottom of a page and decide which of a selection of next steps they wished to take, and would hurriedly turn to the page that corresponded to their choice, wondering what the result of their decision would be. In a sense, life in Milford mirrors that same concept. “Milford is popular because you can pick your lifestyle,” says Gianni Viscuso, a lifelong resident of Milford and Realtor with RE/MAX Right Choice. “You can live on the beach or on rural farmland. And no matter where you are, you’re never more than a few miles from downtown.” In the Parkway/Wheelers Farm Road neighborhood in the city’s northwestern section, residents live in the more rural area of town.
For a country feel come to Wheelers Farm Road.
The Housatonic River near Wheelers Farm Road offers iconic views.

An active population
Residents here are an active group, and easy access to the Housatonic is one of the primary draws of life in Parkway/Wheelers Farm Road. A public boat ramp at the Moses Wheeler Bridge allows for easy launching of trailed boats – and the on-site parking lot has spaces designed for vehicles with attached trailers – or the Valley Yacht Club offers slips for members who prefer to keep their boats in the water when not in use. Bluefish, stripers and other saltwater species are often caught in the brackish river water, as are freshwater bass, pike and trout. Where the river meets Long Island Sound and only accessible by boat is the Charles E. Wheeler Wildlife Management Area, a prime spot for birdwatchers looking to catch a glimpse of migratory birds. The area also offers superb fishing and waterfowl hunting opportunities.
For those who prefer to stay on dry land, Solomon Woods covers approximately 100 acres and features multiple trails that wind their way through the park. Eisenhower Park is popular with families here, who love the park’s multiple trails, courts for tennis and pickleball, splash pad, soccer fields and picnic areas. But the real highlight of Eisenhower Park is Bodie’s Place Playground, named in honor of a young Milford resident named John Vaccino, whose family calls him Bodie. John has cerebral palsy, and he wanted to create a playground for children of all ability levels. The accessible playground at Eisenhower Park is the realization of that goal. And park-goers with four-legged family members can take the trail from Eisenhower Park to the Eisenhower Dog Park, an enclosed park with plenty of open space for playing and a creek for cooling off. Golfers can tee-off at Great River Golf Club, which offers members a challenging 18-hole course that is consistently ranked as one of the best courses in the state. Of course, this is Connecticut, so winter’s temperatures can send people inside. Fortunately for Parkway/Wheelers Farm Road residents, the Milford Ice Pavilion is located in the neighborhood, so they can ice skate or play hockey to stay active until things begin to warm up again.
When they’re not busy with any of those activities, residents can often be found engaging in another of the neighborhood’s favorite pastimes: celebrating. Milford’s downtown sector is definitely a hotspot for events throughout the year. “That’s where the big events are,” says Viscuso. “We have the Oyster Fest with big name bands, Summer Lobster Bake and a tree lighting at Christmas, and the parade for St. Patrick’s Day is huge.”

Lower price points than nearby areas
Another feature of Parkway/Wheelers Farm Road that attracts residents is the lower price points for homes in the neighborhood; the median price here is $510,000, and buyers pay an average of $295 per square foot. While those amounts are higher than the state as a whole, they are significantly lower than what one would expect to pay in Fairfield, less than 15 miles away, where the median price exceeds $1 million. Most of the area comprises single-family homes ranging in price from $270,000 for a four-bedroom/two-bathroom Cape Cod to $950,000 for a five-bedroom/three-bathroom colonial-style home. Homebuyers can also find two-bedroom condos in the low to mid-$400,000s at Caswell Cove Marina, a “dockominium” where residents can access the complex’s private marina and boat slips.

A range of dining options and plenty of nearby shopping
For fresh produce, River Crest Farm is a family-run organic farm focus on sustainability. They offer fresh produce and flowers, as well as vegetable plants and Christmas trees. For more comprehensive grocery shopping, Big Y World Class Market and ALDI are just across I-95, and Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s and Costco are located a few miles away on Boston Post Road. For home necessities and other shopping, Walmart – along with a host of other retailers – is also located up Boston Post Road.
For those nights when cooking at home just won’t cut it, Monty’s River Grille, located in the Great River Golf Club, is a popular destination. The restaurant is open to members and non-members of the club alike, and offers a menu featuring influences from around the globe. For more casual fare, the pizza at Colony Grill Pizza is a crowd favorite in these parts because, as Viscuso says, "This is New Haven County, after all!"
Big Y World Class Market is where Wheelers Farm Road residents can stock up on groceries.

A local transportation hub
While not quite the bedroom community of commuters as towns found further south along the Connecticut coast, Parkway/Wheelers Farm Road does have its fair share of folks who make the daily trip to Manhattan by train. “Milford is a nice transportation hub with a train station. You can be at Grand Central Station in 90 minutes,” says Viscuso. The neighborhood offers easy access to surrounding amenities, health care and services thanks to its proximity to I-95 and major freeways.
Wheelers Farm Road may be quiet but if locals need to hit the road, I95 is nearby.
Wheelers Farm Road is carved out by beautiful waterways.
