Approximate, rounded figures for orientation. We look at live data for your actual search.
Milton grew from a small town to a small city in about twenty years, mostly on the strength of young families who wanted a new house and a view of the escarpment. The hiking is genuinely world-class for a place with a Walmart.
Milton is the town people move to for the house and then stay for the hiking. Know the GO schedule before you commit to a downtown job.
