Knight Crossing is a planned mixed-use community of about 56 acres on Cedar Beach Road, west of Route 1 (Coastal Highway) in Milford. County records list 422 planned units, a mix of town homes and mixed-use buildings, which usually means homes combined with some commercial space.

Public coverage is about an earlier, smaller phase called Knight's Crossing on the former Milford Marina property. In 2021 the Milford City Council approved a final plan for Phase I, with 87 single-family homes and 30 townhouses. In 2022 it approved a revised plan after the developer widened the spacing between houses, which reduced the number of single-family lots. In late 2023 the city agreed to cover a sewer pump station cost that the developer had been expected to pay.

No source gave the 422-unit total or the 56-acre size. The article locations are inconsistent, so the link between this filing and the earlier phases is likely but not confirmed. No opposition or occupant information was found.
