The city's central location, proximity to major highways and interstates, and excellent quality of life makes it one of the top bedroom communities in Georgia.

State Route 247 Connector (Watson Boulevard) forms the southern edge of Centerville, leading east into Warner Robins and west 3 miles (5 km) to Interstate 75 at Exit 146.

Centerville also has a Recycling Center within city limits accepting paper, metals, glass, and other miscellaneous items.

In January 2017, the Houston County Commission approved contracts to design two road widening projects.

Centerville is 8 miles from the Middle Georgia Regional Airport, which is located in south Macon-Bibb county.
