Wantage sits just east of Milford on the states border with New York, and provides a rural setting for renters of all types. Vast swaths of farmland and wooded areas make up the bulk of Wantage’s landscape, but in between you’ll find charming houses and characterful apartment communities. Wantage is light on retail and restaurant options, but with Milford so close, you can be in a much more bustling locale in just a few minutes. The real draw of Wantage is the abundant space that comes with a rental here. Friendly neighbors and occasional community events like farmers markets add to the Wantage allure.
