Welcome to Milton
Exceptional living in a semi-rural setting with an equestrian heritage
A few minutes north of Atlanta is a rural paradise, the city of Milton. Milton has grown from historical farmland to a relatively new town incorporated in 2006 with a solid equestrian heritage. Its strong emphasis on balanced development and innovative land-use policies has been the cornerstone of its laid-back, semi-rural setting. Residents in this unique city can enjoy an unmatched quality of life thanks to its vibrant mix of commercial and residential spaces, excellent schools, good all-year-round weather, and numerous exciting attractions.
One of the things that makes Milton unique, when it comes to equestrian matters, are how its horse farms are woven into the fabric of the city itself, dispersing locations of these horse farms widely between neighborhoods. Select farms house a dozen or more horses, while others house just a few, be assured, whatever the size, they are central to Milton and its distinct equestrian identity. Some community members own horses; others may just ride them; and there are some community members who simply enjoy living in Milton around others that understand the meaning and specialness of the equestrian lifestyle that is offered in this unique town.
