All roads lead to Milford, New Hampshire
Milford is a small, historic city in southern New Hampshire that dates back to around 1794 and has a population of about 16,000. The city is roughly 25 square miles, and while most of that is quiet farmland or forest, there are plenty of residential neighborhoods to choose from. Major roadways like Nashua Street, Route 101 and Route 13 cut through it. “All roads in this part of the state lead to Milford,” says Milford Town Administrator Lincoln Daley, who has served in his role since 2016. “Around 16,000 cars pass through downtown daily, which helps make us a hub for grocery shopping, healthcare and other needs for surrounding communities.” Commercial spaces are located on Nashua Street and include locally owned restaurants and shops in Milford’s historic downtown. The median household income is around $83,000, and major employers include Hitchiner Manufacturing Corp., Cirtronics and Hendrix Wire and Cable.

A variety of Milford housing options and plans to improve
Milford’s median single-family home value is around $545,000, which is lower than in nearby Amherst and Mont Vernon. “One of the unique things about Milford is that we have something for everyone,” says Camille Pattison, community development director and longtime area resident who returned to Milford recently. “Whether you’re looking for a larger home in a rural setting or an apartment in a walkable area, Milford has it all.” But like many communities, Milford faces challenges with affordable housing. “It’s difficult for young families to get started,” Pattison said. “But we’re working to encourage developers to build housing for first-time homebuyers and downsizing seniors.” Buyers can expect a selection of New England-style homes, such as those with colonial or Victorian-era designs, as well as rustic cabins, newly built modern traditionals and modest Cape Cods.

Downtown shops and restaurants around the Milford Oval
Local business organizations maintain Milford’s economic landscape by providing small business owners the resources they need to grow. This is evident in Milford’s downtown area, where unique bars, cafes and restaurants congregate around the Milford Oval Park and gazebo. “Downtown Milford has become a food destination,” Pattison says. “One highlight is Greenleaf, a restaurant with a nationally recognized chef who was featured on Top Chef. It’s drawn people in from as far as Boston.” Shoppers explore boutiques and antique stores, while diners can sample craft beer and a variety of cuisines. Despite post-COVID challenges, downtown remains full of energy, thanks to ongoing improvement projects. “We’re addressing parking issues, improving accessibility and enhancing the overall aesthetic with new sidewalks and other updates,” Daley says. In addition to its downtown appeal, Milford residents can head into rural areas to access locally raised food and produce. “The city has a great balance of commercial destinations, outdoor opportunities and family farm stands,” Pattison adds.

Close-knit community events and the annual Pumpkin Festival
The Milford Oval is also "the focal point of our downtown and home to our biggest event, the Pumpkin Festival, which draws about 30,000 people each October,” Daley says. The festival features a range of family-friendly evening activities. “The highlight is the monstrous pumpkin weigh-in, with locally grown pumpkins that have reached around 1,200 pounds,” Pattison says. “During the day, families can carve pumpkins or make scarecrows, while at night, there’s a new Bier Garden, haunted trail and live music. It’s a great mix of activities for all ages.” In addition to the Pumpkin Festival, Milford hosts events like the Ghost Train Rail Trail Race, a collaborative event with neighboring Brookline. “The race spans multiple trails and has a grassroots feel, with volunteers even serving food to the runners,” Daley says. “It highlights Milford’s strong sense of community and draws participants from across the region.”

Efforts to improve and expand upon parks and recreation
The city’s charm extends beyond its restaurants, where cultural events, community parks and even a drive-in theater – one of just a few left in New Hampshire – offer unique experiences for residents and visitors. Keyes Memorial Park is a large sports complex with a community pool, and Centennial Park is a historic site for quiet strolls. The Souhegan River runs through downtown, and the city’s extensive hiking and rail trail system winds through rural forests. “We’re working to improve access to these areas, which are so important to our residents and their quality of life,” Daley says. Looking ahead, the town is conducting outreach and hosting public forums to gather input from residents and business owners, with the goal of shaping the community together. “We’re focused on balancing growth and development while protecting natural and historical resources,” Pattison says. “The master plan is designed to reflect the voice of the people and what they want for their community." Residents can hopefully expect better access to the Souhegan River, updated walking and recreation spaces, as well as new amenities and more opportunities to get outside.
