Rural atmosphere and suburban convenience
Located in the southwest Connecticut city of Milford, Post Road North is home to a sprawling shopping district that offers the ultimate in modern convenience. Away from the stores stretched along the Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1 corridors, residents enjoy an almost rural landscape populated by homes on spacious lots. “What’s so great about North Milford is that feels like you’re living in the woods, but you’re just minutes from shopping and restaurants; it’s the best of both worlds,” says Maura Cannon of Cannon Real Estate Services, who has lived in Milford for most of her life and has been selling homes there for 35 years. “Milford is just a great place to live. It’s got parks, beaches and a really nice historic downtown. It’s also a very convenient location with access to the interstate and Merritt Parkway, which takes you all the way into New York.”
Anchored by an array of retail centers
A collection of major retailers in Post Road North carries everything from groceries to home goods, pet supplies, clothing and more. Residents can choose between Walmart, Stop & Shop, Whole Foods and Costco when they need groceries. For a fun afternoon out, they often head to Connecticut Post Mall to shop at stores like Macy’s and Dick’s Sporting Goods, eat at popular chain restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings or catch the latest movie at the theater. Other shopping centers across the neighborhood offer stores like Old Navy, Barnes & Noble, Michael’s and Sephora. While they’re out, locals can stop at MoMo Sushi, a popular local spot serving Japanese fusion among Post Road North’s many chain restaurants. Downtown Milford offers more unique dining options just 2 miles away, including Founders House Pub & Patio and Trattoria 'A Vucchella.

Commuter rail to New York City
The city’s commuter rail station is located in Downtown Milford. “From North Milford, you’re about four to six minutes away,” Cannon says. “The train can take you right into New York City.” Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1, which both run through the neighborhood, provide easy access to nearby points of interest. Route 1 is especially convenient for travel throughout the area, while I-95 connects directly to Downtown New Haven, home of Yale University, only 10 miles to the north. State Route 15, also known as the Merritt Parkway, is located just west of the neighborhood. Designated as a National Scenic Byway, it’s one of the oldest parkways in the country.
Milford’s summer concert series
In addition to smaller neighborhood gatherings, residents are never far from events held in Milford itself, such as a summer concert series where locals listen to live music at Fowler Field just 2 miles from the neighborhood.
Eisenhower Park offers an array of amenities right next door
Recreational opportunities abound at Eisenhower Park adjacent to the neighborhood’s west side. “The park has been around for a long time, and it’s beautiful,” says Cannon. Featured children’s amenities include a waterpark and playground, while several tennis and pickleball courts highlight the athletic amenities. Trails offer the chance to explore the surrounding wooded landscape on foot or via bike. There’s even a dog park. For those who like to get their hands dirty, the nearby City of Milford Community Gardens offers the opportunity to dig in the dirt. “If you live in a condo, you can take one of the spaces and have your very own garden,” says Cannon. Golfers can hone their game at the 9-hole course next to the park. Milford Green downtown is the second-oldest town green in New England, with a history that stretches back to the middle of the 17th century. The picturesque space is flush with flowers and dotted by historic monuments. Communitywide events and celebrations are held there year-round. Waterfront recreation is available only a few miles away, as Long Island Sound is a popular destination for beachgoers.
Have fun at the Eisenhower Park at 780 North St, Milford, CT 06461.
The 9-hole Orchard’s Golf Course is at the edge of the Post Road North neighborhood.

Single-family homes on spacious lots
Post Road North’s sidewalk-lined and tree-dotted streets feature large ranch-style homes with attached garages and split-levels with similar features sitting alongside Cape Cods with charming dormers and a variety of colonial-style homes, including Colonial Revivals. “Homes in North Milford have larger lots and are a little more expensive than other areas of the city,” Cannon says. “There’s something for everybody.” Prices typically range from $300,000 to $800,000. Condominiums starting at $200,000 and manufactured homes starting at $80,000 offer alternative options. With low inventory, though, competition for homes has been up. “Right now, we only have 56 homes, that’s homes and condos, for sale in Milford,” Cannon says. “Typically, we have 250, so it’s really down.”
