Millville is a former mill town with a country feel
As the name suggests, Millville developed due to the presence of mills along the Blackstone River. While the mills have shuttered, many of the workers’ homes remain, and today the town’s roughly 3,000 residents live in old Colonial Revivals or American Foursquares with updated interiors. The rural community has easy access to Massachusetts State Route 146, which leads to employment hubs, Worcester and Providence. “Things get more rural the further you get from 495,” says Suzanne Ranieri, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, who lives in the nearby town of Bellingham. “Millville is more remote than other towns close by. There’s not as much activity.”
Millville owes its roots to the mills that once lined the Blackstone River, shaping its growth and name.
The Blackstone River winds through Millville, carrying with it the legacy of the town’s industrial past.

Recreation surrounding the Blackstone River
The Blackstone River Greenway runs 48 miles from Worcester to Providence, passing through Millville and following the Blackstone River. Tucked between mature forests and along the bike path, the Triad Bridge, an old rail bridge, crosses the water. Locals can walk over the old iron and through the surrounding woods. Raineri mentions that hiking isn’t the only thing people do near the Blackstone River. “There’s a lot of kayaking and other things on the river,” says Raineri. Every year, the Blackstone River Greenway Challenge, an eight-segment relay with paddling, cycling and running takes place in Millville and surrounding towns in the Blackstone River Valley.
Stretching 48 miles from Worcester to Providence, the Blackstone River Greenway offers a scenic journey through history and nature.
Once part of a vital rail line, the Triad Bridge now stands as a relic of Millville’s industrial past, crossing the water along the Blackstone River Greenway.

Historic homes and new construction along rural roads
A dense canopy of trees surrounds narrow roads in Millville. With low stone walls, winding streets and brush swaying in the wind, the town feels like the country. For between $200,000 and $500,000, potential buyers can find ranch-style homes, Cape Cods and American Foursquares with gable-front roofs. Larger Colonial Revival, bilevel and New Traditional houses can cost about $500,00 to $785,000. There’s a mix between historic homes from the 1800s and 1900s and newer constructions in Millville; however, prices depend on a property’s size, age and condition. “You can get a bigger house here than in nearby towns for the same price,” Ranieri says.
Millville features a charming blend of historic 19th- and 20th-century homes alongside modern new constructions.
Potential buyers in Millville can choose from ranch-style homes, classic Cape Cods, and American Foursquares with distinctive gable-front roofs.
