Their cramped apartments and few outdoor escapes. Those who have jobs that now have nothing tethering them to an office have leapt into country life, but others who are not so untethered are looking for the freedom small towns can provide – with proximity to a larger city to continue their essential work. The Town of Milton, New York offers residents a short commute to Saratoga Springs where all of the perks of big city living are close at hand. At the same time, Milton can provide the oasis of calm to balance the equation. The town has many amenities of its own and a very involved resident base, which makes it perfect for young professionals looking to make a home for themselves, and for other people who are retiring and downsizing. Town Supervisor Benny Zlotnick believes Milton is a very unique community with a lot to offer both residents and companies looking to expand or put down roots.

We have a really good community here. The town has a great bunch of employees that do their jobs everyday, especially this past winter with this storms that we had. We had people putting in long hours and under adverse conditions, and they do a really good job.” The Town of Milton has a population just ENJOY THE FREEDOM
