A lush small town with a vibrant downtown district

Charming Eclectic Community River Park-Like Family-Friendly Great Schools

Milford has the character of a big city, just scaled down into two and a half square miles in southeast Michigan. The village is vibrantly landscaped. Almost every street is lined with trees, and its Central Park is a popular gathering spot thanks to its amphitheater and riverfront views. Main Street houses local businesses and mom-and-pop shops almost exclusively, including popular Italian restaurants and health food stores.

GM’s Milford Proving Grounds sits just west of the town, and is a large employer for the area. Homes and apartments in Milford range from upscale contemporary developments to more historic on the east side of town.

Milford is becoming a sought-after locale in which to raise a family. There’s a large number of highly-rated schools in the district and a very low crime rate. Couple that with the relative affordability and alluring downtown area, and Milford ticks almost every box for a variety of renters.
