The center of the town of Milton
Just south of the heart of Boston lies the town of Milton and the Milton Center community. Here, residents can find historical Colonial Revivals and New Englanders on quiet residential streets near the public library, town hall and the local hospital. Homes are also close to the area's highly rated public and private schools and the trails found at Blue Hills Reservation. “Plenty of people end up moving to the area because of the schools and the nearby trails,” says Sarah Truog, the assistant director of the Milton Public Library, who has lived in the area since 2011.
The Milton Public Library has been part of the community since 1904.
Milton Center is a Massachusetts neighborhood filled with history and beautiful architecture.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
