Dellwood’s convenience may be one of its greatest appeals
The small neighborhood of Dellwood offers a comfortable slice of Midland’s suburban atmosphere, keeping parks, schools and local restaurants within a few miles. Midcentury architecture is typical here, and although the city isn’t considered particularly walkable, it’s not uncommon to see residents out for a stroll on the neighborhood’s sidewalk-lined streets. Tracy Farrow, who grew up in the area, says the city’s small-town feel was one of the reasons she returned. “I was ready to get out of Midland. But then I came back, and I’ve been back for over 25 years,” says Farrow, broker-owner of Tracy Farrow Realty. “It’s not real pretty here, but the people are great.” What Dellwood lacks in looks, however, it makes up for in convenience. West Illinois Avenue’s shopping centers include everything from casual restaurants to salons to fitness centers. Midland Memorial Hospital is less than 2 miles away, and it’s a short bus ride to the city’s growing downtown corridor.

Lancaster Park has a renovated playground
Lancaster Park is within walking distance of many homes and includes a large field and a covered picnic area. At the center of the field sits a recently renovated, shaded playscape with medieval elements like faux-stone castle walls. The Doug Russell Aquatic Center is beloved for its multiple pools, corkscrew slides and colorful splash zone, helping residents of all ages stay cool in summer. Scharbauer Sports Complex, the community’s athletics hub, welcomes high school athletes for football, soccer and baseball games. The complex’s Momentum Bank Ballpark also hosts the RockHounds, the Double-A affiliate for Major League Baseball’s Oakland Athletics. A baseball-themed splash pad sits beside the ballpark and is often illuminated with RockHounds’ blue, orange and white colors during home games.

Midcentury brick homes line Dellwood’s streets
Dellwood’s sidewalk-lined streets feature mostly brick ranch-style properties from the 1950s and 1960s. Homes are about as wide as the lots, leaving little room between buildings. Front entrances are sometimes adorned with bold Texas stars, and wide driveways accommodate standing basketball hoops. Three-bedroom homes, ranging from 1,200 to more than 2,000 square feet, are priced between $200,000 and $300,000. Farrow says those prices have remained consistent throughout the years. “The housing market in Midland has always been good. Even during COVID-19 and the recession, Midland maybe suffered two weeks.” Homes here are significantly lower than the city’s average, making them an attractive choice for oil pump workers and investors, Farrow says.
