Milton is a historical town with a quaint atmosphere
Milton has over 5,000 inhabitants near southern Wisconsin's lakes. Milton was settled by Joseph Goodrich in 1840, establishing an inn that served as a station on the Underground Railroad and today is a museum. In 1844, Goodrich established Milton Academy, which evolved into Milton College, and was the oldest college in the state until it closed its doors in 1982. Today, buyers have a variety of older and newer homes to choose from. Properties are on gridded streets with smaller lawns and oak and pine trees in the front and back. Some homes back onto local lakes, providing residents with private fishing and boating docks. “Milton is kind of a hybrid. Yes, it is a small town, but it's pretty quaint and peaceful. It's got great schools, and the environment there for kids is just peaceful,” says Michael Ferraro, a real estate agent with Ferraro Real Estate Team- EXP Realty. “You have this little private country town that’s quaint, but you're also close to the metropolitan areas.”

Older and newer builds with some HOA activity
The median home price is $369,000, higher than the state median and lower than the national median. Homes include Victorian, farmhouse, new traditional and ranch style. Land is available. Ferraro notes that an HOA oversees newer homes. Ferraro says the area has attracted young families, couples and older residents who have lived in the town for generations. The community has some logistics and agricultural businesses, but Ferarro notes people also commute to work. “If they like the appeal of a small town but close to big areas, Milton is certainly somewhere to go,” says Ferraro.
