Milton Hill
Neighborhood in Milton, Massachusetts
Norfolk County 02186
One-of-a-kind homes and custom estates with acreage
Milton Hill's single-family homes are diverse, typically dating from the 18th century through the mid-20th century. "Most of the homes were built in the turn of the century on decently sized yards, 10,000 square feet — minimum," Freeman says. "You have a mixture of styles: Georgian mansions, midcentury modern, Greek Revivals, colonials and farmhouses." Larger estates are secluded atop long driveways on acre-sized lots landscaped with lush trees and gardens, while mid-sized Cape Cods and ranch-style homes are often set close together along sidewalk-lined streets in small subdivisions. Mid-sized homes range from about $600,000 to $1 million, while larger homes go for $1 million to $3 million. There are also a handful of newer custom homes with features like private pools, theater rooms and multi-car garages. "The new construction ranges in price from $4 million to $5 million," Freeman says.Neighborhood green spaces and nearby Cunningham Park
Right in the neighborhood, Mary C. Lane Playground offers half-court basketball, Little League baseball and a Little Free Library. Just up the road, Governor Hutchinson's Field is a serene setting for a picnic with views of Boston in the distance. Nearby, morning joggers, dog walkers and cyclists follow the 5-mile Lower Neponset River Trail for a scenic route along the water. Anglers can cast fishing lines in the river for chain pickerel and largemouth bass. "Cunningham Park is probably the most popular park in Milton," Freeman says. The 100-acre green space borders Milton Hill, offering walking trails shaded by mature trees, playing fields and courts for tennis and pickleball. In the summer, Caldwell Pond is open to Milton residents for swimming.Milton Public Schools and Milton Academy receive high ratings from Niche

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.
