Is New Milford getting better or worse?
Curious what people think. It's a a small town city with about 16,882 people. With a population of 16,882, New Milford is a small town. Rent is about $1,722/month for a decent place. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Diverse community
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
Cons:
- Rising rent prices
- Limited nightlife
- Not very walkable
- Not enough green space
