That very much depends where because there’s a lot of red neck meth shacks up there too.

There's old money family land with plenty of dirt poor residents, a mix of mid-century middle class single fam homes, and a number of both old and new money mansions in the woods.

Mostly it's just woods.

It’s an enigma. There are mansions, people with a lot of money near Greenwood Lake/Ringwood, and a lot of meth and trash in between.

Its funny because I used to referee at paintball depot when that place was still a thing. There ranges from run down shacks to actual mansions in that area. Its pretty wooded, but depending where are some big houses. Its a pretty big mix of places though honestly.

It depends. There are four west Milfords: lakefront community folks (generally younger families and left leaning-ish) rich reclusive mansion folks (few ball players and anti-social types) honest tradespeople in affordable housing (probably the largest group), and whack job meth heads in shacks (smallest but most noticeable).

It’s not uncommon to see a Ferrari parked next to a rotted out 70’s pick up, and there are as many masons as white collar workers hopping the 197 bus to NY.
