Milford stretches along Connecticut's coastline with over 14 miles of Long Island Sound shoreline, the most of any Connecticut town. The city features public beaches and Silver Sands State Park, while its downtown area surrounds a historic New England green. The rental market currently shows one-bedroom apartments averaging $2,194, while two-bedroom units typically rent for $2,616. Three-bedroom units have seen a 26.8% decrease year-over-year.
Outdoor recreation opportunities abound at Charles Island, which connects to shore via sandbar at low tide, and the Connecticut Audubon Society Coastal Center at Milford Point. The annual Oyster Festival takes place on the green each August, highlighting the area's maritime heritage. Commuters benefit from direct access to Interstate 95 and Metro-North Railroad service to New York City.
