Millersville balances open-country calm with quick access to daily essentials, set along Route 72 about 10 minutes from Jackson and roughly 25 minutes from Cape Girardeau. Residents appreciate the extra elbow room—think wide skies, winding creeks, and properties with space for hobbies—while county services, permits, and courts are a short drive via the official Cape Girardeau County offices.
Weekends here often mean time outside. Hike bluffs above the Mississippi, launch a canoe, or watch migrating waterfowl at Trail of Tears State Park. Just west, photographers and history buffs gather at Bollinger Mill State Historic Site, where a four-story mill and the Burfordville covered bridge create a postcard backdrop in every season.
Families value the area’s connection to the highly regarded Jackson R-2 schools, and older students have a straight shot to Southeast Missouri State University for academics, arts, and athletics. Daily errands, medical care, and employers are close at hand in Jackson and Cape Girardeau, while a quick hop to Perryville expands shopping and dining options.
Homes around Millersville range from classic farmhouses and updated ranches to custom builds on acreage, making it easy to find the mix of privacy and convenience you want.
