Family life centers on space, not walkable amenities
Because under 2% of Milton is zoned commercial, family life here looks meaningfully different from a walkable suburb: large lots and yard space (often multiple acres) substitute for nearby retail, dining, or entertainment options, which typically require a drive. Families specifically wanting walkable amenities alongside strong schools should look to Alpharetta or Roswell's downtown/historic districts elsewhere in this dataset.
