Highland. This established pocket of Midland blends quiet, walkable blocks with quick access to the city’s cultural core, making everyday living feel easy and connected. Weekends are an easy sell: downtown’s landscaped lawns and splash pads at Centennial Park are minutes away, and the galleries, children’s museum, and sculpture garden at the Museum of the Southwest offer year-round programs that keep calendars full.
Families value the neighborhood’s access to education. Highland is served by Midland ISD, with a wide range of academic and extracurricular options across the district, while nearby Midland College supports dual-credit pathways and continuing education—a convenient perk for career upskilling or finishing a degree. Nature lovers appreciate how quickly they can trade pavement for wildlife viewing along the boardwalks at the I-20 Wildlife Preserve, and neighborhood parks maintained by Midland Parks & Recreation make after-school play and evening jogs part of the routine.
Highland’s homes reflect the area’s growth through the decades, from classic mid-century designs to thoughtfully updated residences with generous yards. Commuters find the location practical for reaching major job centers in Midland and nearby Odessa, while locals point to the friendly, look-out-for-each-other feel that makes staying put just as appealing as moving in.
