The feel of the town
Milford has more Long Island Sound shoreline than any other town in Connecticut, with beach neighborhoods like Walnut Beach, Woodmont and Laurel Beach. Its downtown, centered on the historic Milford Green, is walkable and full of restaurants.
Despite the beach-town feel, it's a full city with its own train station, I-95 and the Wilbur Cross Parkway running through.
