Quiet homes and streets just north of Blue Hills Reservation
Just south of the center of Milton lies Hillside Street, a small neighborhood with historic homes surrounded by green spaces. The Harland Street Conservation Area and the Blue Hills Reservation create scenic backdrops to town life. Homes are a short drive away from golf courses, local restaurants, highly rated schools and community parks. “It’s a really nice area because you can be in the forest while still being right next to the city,” says Sarah Truog, assistant director of the Milton Public Library and Milton resident since 2011.
Hillside Street is situated ten miles from downtown Boston.

In September, residents can attend Milton Porchfest, where bands play from porches, driveways and front lawns.
