Milton grew from a small escarpment town into one of the fastest-growing municipalities in the country after the early 2000s, and most of the housing reflects that: subdivisions of detached homes and townhomes in Hawthorne Village, Beaty, Clarke, Scott and the Boyne area, all within a few minutes of Highway 401. The old downtown along Main Street and the fairgrounds has kept its character.
The Niagara Escarpment is the town’s backdrop and playground: Kelso Conservation Area and the Glen Eden ski hill, Rattlesnake Point and Hilton Falls are all minutes away. Milton GO is the end of the Milton line, with weekday trains to Union. The 401 and 407 cover the drive.
