For a middle-class suburban city, the overall crime rate is low. Lots of family activities in Milpitas. New community center and library. Soccer, tennis, baseball, Little League, racquetball, waterslides, two golf courses in foothills, basketball, softball, volleyball, hang gliding, day camp, movies, bowling, roller skating, billiard parlor. Few South Bay cities have great commutes, but Milpitas has better than most.
Traffic often congests during peak hours, exasperating drivers.
Overall Milpitas is a middle-class town that delivers on many of the important aspects of suburban life.
