One of the fastest-growing cities in central Alabama, Millbrook’s population has increased to over 18,000 residents as of the last population census and is part of the Montgomery Metropolitan Statistical Area. Home to many local attractions of interest enjoyed by both residents and visitors to the city including the Lanark Estate, headquarters of the Alabama Wildlife Federation(AWF), the Alabama Nature Center, the Grandview Family YMCA, the beautiful Mill Creek, Village Green, and Jackson Island. Millbrook has a little something for everyone wrapped up in a friendly and welcoming embrace. The city can attribute some of its obvious charms to the natural assets that it is blessed with. Located in an area rich with rolling hills and several nearby rivers and lakes within the region to explore, there is always something to plan for those that call Millbrook home. The weather doesn’t hurt either with typically long, warm summers and We pride ourselves a lot in the quality of life. We have several walking trails, one around the Village Greens and a couple more downtown and on the north end of town.” Mayor Kelley states.
