Prospective buyers in Brush Hill will find a variety of Colonial Revivals, split-levels, New Englanders and ranch-style designs, many of which were constructed in the 1800s or early 1900s. “A lot of the homes are so old you see people coming to the library to do research on the history of their own house,” says Sarah Truog, the assistant director of the Milton Public Library, who has lived in the area since 2011. Homes closer to downtown can cost between $650,000 and $ 1 million, while more spacious homes farther away can cost as much as $2 million.
