How negotiable is the walkable part? Does this matter more to you than the housing component? Areas that are primarily single family are going to be more suburby and spread out and inherently less walkable.
If I needed to live within 45 minutes of Milford and south of the city, in a place with a strong public school, Canton is probably near the top of my list.

At least somewhat walkable is pretty important... there are lots of towns that would otherwise be great, but likely not within my budget (Newton, Arlington, Wellesley, etc)

Ayy gotcha, thanks. People have different ideas about what is walkable lol, when I read walkable my interpretation is something dense and downtown-like, but that's because I don't like walking. But based on those examples I get the sense that your definition is like a place with greenery and real sidewalks, where you can get to the middle of town for ice cream or bread in 15-20 minutes without being worried about getting hit by a car. I may reiterate my recommendation for Canton, in that case. The school system is good - 99% graduation rate, 90% college bound

There is sub million housing in those areas it just leaves a lot to be desired.
