Community
Tucked into Oakland County in southeast Michigan, Milford is a small village with a lot of personality. At roughly 2.5 square miles, the whole place feels refreshingly walkable. Main Street anchors a downtown full of tree-lined blocks, historic storefronts, and a mix of older and newer homes. The village also has a notable claim to fame regionally: General Motor's Milford Proving Ground sits just west of town.
