Millet for Nisku and Airport Commuters from the Southwest
Millet (population 1,890 at the 2021 Census) lies on Highway 2A roughly 40 km below Edmonton, inside Wetaskiwin County. Its pull for southwest households is the short run north to Nisku, Leduc and the airport, combined with small-town prices.

Older than Alberta
Village status came in 1903, two years before Alberta existed, and town status followed in 1983. The name honours August Millet, thought to have paddled for Father Lacombe. A local museum and visitor centre on Highway 2A, open since 1985, keeps the archives.
Homes move quickly here
26 homes sold in the 12 months to October 31 at a median of $396,500, and the median sale took just 18 days. That speed changes how a two-home move works: if you find the right Millet house, expect to decide quickly, which usually means having the southwest home priced and ready before you tour.

Our comparison point in the southwest is Rutherford, where detached homes sold at a median of $500,500 over the same 12 months. Rutherford owners often find a larger Millet lot for less money.
Schools and care
Children attend Griffiths-Scott School in town through Grade 8, then ride to Wetaskiwin Composite for high school; both belong to the Wetaskiwin Regional division. For emergencies, the closest department is at the Wetaskiwin hospital, south on 2A.
Town calendar
June's Millet Days fills the main street with a parade, ball and soccer games, a trade fair and fireworks to finish; in May, the Millet Massacre is a music night with a beer garden. For a family leaving a large southwest neighbourhood, those events are where people meet the town.
Commute reality
Leduc is up 2A to the north, Wetaskiwin down it to the south, and Highway 616 crosses in town. Drive to your workplace at shift-change time before buying; winter fog on 2A is a known slowdown.
