A community with industry at its core
Millville is an area with a blue-collar bent. It was once the most prominent hamlet by Saint Andrew Bay, buoyed by its industry. The town was annexed by Panama City in the 1920s, but is still a place with its own character — and still one that’s attracting business, too, from new companies to new construction. “Millville was always industrial,” says Richard Anderson, a local realtor with Premier Properties of Bay Co., who grew up in Millville. “Working-class neighborhoods.”
Millville is a cozy neighborhood located just outside of downtown Panama City.

Established homes blend with new options
This community predominantly comprises single-family homes, but the variance is quite wide. Millville’s grid of slender, but tranquil, streets is dotted with some classic residences dating back to the dawn of the 20th century — when the town was flexing its power as the area’s preeminent hub for commerce. But Millville has also become the site of a spate of new construction, adding some new sheen to this well-established enclave. Homes here typically come with at least a bit of lawn space, on lots from just over one-tenth to just over one-fifth of an acre. Most houses in this area have single-story Craftsman styling, too, regardless of age. Some options here start with prices in the low $100,000s, for something that needs work. Prices typically max out in the mid-$200,000s, for a new build.
Tyndall Air Force Base has been a catalyst for new construction in the area, local Realtor Charles Sowers, of eXp Realty, believes. The base is the subject of a $5.3 billion reconstruction project, after damages sustained in Hurricane Michael in 2018. Tyndall’s rejuvenation is set to bring a wave of new people to the area. Also, SRM Concrete is planning a new facility in town, on the site of a paper mill that closed in 2022 — one that was long a major employer here. That project is projected to bring hundreds of more jobs. “For Millville specifically, it’s opportunity,” Sowers says, describing the community’s appeal. “Anytime something goes away there’s the opportunity for growth.”

Millville is located on the bay in Panama City.
Millville’s main thoroughfare is easy to pick out
Millville’s web of residential streets branches out from 5th Street, the most prominent artery in town. This stretch is part of Florida State Road 30 and U.S. Route 98 and is not only lined with an assortment of commercial amenities but also connects people here with Tyndall, just about 8 miles away. There are multiple stops in the region’s Bayway bus service along 5th Street as well.
Seafood is part of this area’s personality
Millville spurns an abundance of big box stores and chain restaurants for local options. “There’s still mostly mom-and-pop stores and restaurants,” says Sowers, who has been selling real estate in the Bay County area since 2017. Gene’s Oyster Bar is one of the institutions, a spot that dates back to the 1930s and is still cash-only. The fresh oysters have been a draw for decades. “Great food, great service. One of the last true gems of that area,” Sowers says. The Bistro Southern Cafeteria is much newer, open since 2017, but it’s become a hotspot in its own right for its soul food — the mac and cheese is a hit. Locals have places like Asian Oriental International Market and Capt. Hai's Fresh Seafood Market at their disposal for picking up ingredients for concoctions of their own. There’s also a Dollar General and a Family Dollar along 5th Street, convenient for grabbing other essentials. The overall crime score in Millville ranks above the national average, according to the CAP Index, particularly because of categories like burglary.

Waterside location is a windfall for outdoor fun
This community faces not just a sliver of Saint Andrew Bay but also the Watson Bayou. The latter provides a serene setting for assets like Millville Waterfront Park, a 4-acre space with a pier out into the bayou where people enjoy fishing. There are also hanging beach chairs here, ideal for peering out at the water while enjoying a good book. There’s a marina, Emerald Harbor, just up the road from the park, too. Area boaters can scoot out to spots like Shell Island — which is only accessible by boat. Shell Island is an undeveloped getaway, where visitors can go snorkeling or hunting for all sorts of shells in the white sand.
Residents in Millville can own boats and dock them on the bay with ease.
