Centerville blends small-town ease with wide-open prairie horizons, set along the Vermillion River in Turner County. Residents enjoy a quick, straight-shot drive to career, shopping, and entertainment opportunities in Sioux Falls or college-town energy in Vermillion, while day-to-day life stays relaxed and neighborly. Historic storefronts, locally owned eateries, and community parks give the city a walkable core, and the City of Centerville keeps year-round programs and facilities running smoothly for families and active adults.
Education is a point of pride. The Centerville School District offers small class sizes, strong teacher-student connections, and a full slate of athletics and arts—Friday nights at the gym or ballfield bring the whole town together. Outdoor enthusiasts head a short drive east or north for fishing and paddling on the Vermillion River, or south to forested trails and winter snowshoe routes at Newton Hills State Park.
Community spirit shows up in well-kept neighborhoods and shared traditions. Late summer is highlighted by the time-honored Turner County Fair, where families gather for 4‑H exhibits, grandstand shows, and midway lights. With attainable home prices, straightforward commutes, and a steady calendar of local events maintained by the City of Centerville, this is a place where settling in feels easy.
