Milton Information and Highlights

Milton, located in the Florida Panhandle, is a laid back community nestled in a gorgeous rural setting of secluded forests, pristine waterways and gently rolling farmland. If you like the idea of spacious country living, peaceful walks under an ancient tree canopy, and abundant opportunities for recreation and entertainment, then you’ll love calling Milton, home!
