My husband and I are considering buying in Milford, MA. I'm curious to know what people who currently live there think of the town and the school system.

There are a few properties we like in Holliston and Hopkinton, and I have heard great things about their schools. But there seem to be more properties in our price range in Milford.

Thanks for any advice!

Have you ever driven around Milford?  I would recommend driving around the downtown area to see who your children will be going to school with and view the community you will be living in.  I do quite a bit of business in Milford but do not live there.

The quality of education your children would receive in Holliston/Hopkinton would be far, far superior to Milford.  Go with the smaller house in a better town, it's a better financial and quality of life decision.

Location, location, location. Drive through all three downtown areas.

Hopkinton high school was just the second-highest ranked school in the state in Newsweek's 500 best high schools in the nation (95th overall).

I grew up in Medway, next town over.  There's a reason why prices in Milford are so much more affordable than Holliston and Hopkinton.  Try Medway, schools are great there too, but stay away from Milford.
