Why live in Milton?

Milton is one of the smaller towns that make up the Halton Region and yet it is just as appealing if not more so than other parts of the Greater Toronto Area. This is due to the fact that Milton’s small size is what adds to its charm (the area is known for being extremely community-oriented and walkable). Plus, Milton is an outdoor lover’s paradise, with plenty of parks and conservation areas that allows locals to enjoy outdoor activities year-round. In fact, the area is part of what is known as Escarpment Country, which consists of over 380 square kilometres of lush countryside that surround Milton. For instance, Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area, Hilton Falls Conservation Area, Kelso Conservation Area, Hilton Falls Conservation Area, and Mountsberg Conservation Area can all be found in and around Milton. This translates to plenty of opportunities for hiking, fishing, boating, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and more. Not to mention all of the urban parks within the town itself, like Livingston Park, Bronte Meadows Park, McCready Park, etc. Beyond the rolling hills and scenic beauty that you will find in Milton, the town also boasts a low cost of living relative to the GTA, convenient access to downtown Toronto, and Toronto Pearson International Airport, and also happens to be one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Ontario. With this comes all kinds of opportunities, ranging from economic to housing.

Milton property market

Milton is one of the fastest-growing municipalities within the GTA, which means that over the years, its property market has soared, and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping. Since Milton is largely populated by families, most of the property types in this area consist of townhomes, detached homes, semi-detached homes, and multi-storey homes. However, there are a larger number of condos and apartments than there used to be.

Standard of living in Milton

The standard of living in Milton is incredibly high. It is teeming with small town charm and has a distinct rural feel that you won’t find in many parts of the Greater Toronto Area. However, on top of that, it has lots of urban amenities, like an excellent public transportation system, easy access to both Hamilton and Toronto, and a low crime rate. On top of all of this, it gives residents nearly unparalleled access to the great outdoors, given its prime location on the Niagara Escarpment. But if you don’t believe us, take into account the fact that Toronto, which Milton is a part of, was recently listed on The Global Liveability Index 2023’s Liveability Report. Toronto ranked ninth on their list of the most liveable cities in the world after being evaluated on factors including healthcare, stability, education, and culture & environment.

Something wonderful about Milton

Milton has changed a lot over the years. Historically, it was inhabited by the Mississaugas of the Credit and the Chippewa of the Lakes Huron and Simcoe. However, in 1818, it became the property of the British Crown, which is when the town of Milton that we know today began to form. A grist mill, powered by Mill Pond, was the first structure to be established by the British and it became the central part of the settlement. By 1837, the town had officially been named Milton, after the famous English poet John Milton, and it was home to approximately 100 people. Just over 30 years later in 1869, Milton’s population had swelled, now home to over 1,000 people. This early growth of the Milton settlement mirrors its growth today. In fact, for a decade between 2001 and 2011, Milton was the fastest-growing municipality in Canada. Today, the town is still experiencing unprecedented growth, but it is home to more than a grist mill. Homes of all types, restaurants, shops, museums, schools, healthcare centres, and conservation areas can now all be found in this Halton town.
