Oklahoma City suburb “Where the Spirit Flies High”
As the closest city to Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, Midwest City is a place that lives up to its motto, “Where the Spirit Flies High.” The city of 58,000 is part of the Oklahoma City metro area and takes its name from the base’s former title, Midwest Air Depot. “It’s very much a military community with a lot of coming and going, a lot of people moving in and out,” says Rick McCormick, Realtor with eXp Realty. Its story began in 1943, shortly after the US War Department expanded the Army Corps and set up bases in locations chosen for their favorable year-round flying weather. In 1950, the population hovered around 10,000, but the number more than tripled as the decade progressed. By 1990, Midwest City had more than 50,000 residents and is now the eighth-largest city in Oklahoma.

Next door to Tinker Air Force Base
According to McCormick, Midwest City is “more of a blue-collar town” than nearby suburbs like Moore and Norman. With over 26,000 military and civilian personnel, Tinker Air Force Base is the state’s largest single-site employer. The base is a major draw for active-duty military members and their families. SSM Health St. Anthony Hospital¬¬ – Midwest serves the communities of eastern Oklahoma County and provides hundreds of healthcare-related jobs. Other significant industries include technology, construction, manufacturing, retail and administrative work.
Tinker Air Force Base in Midwest City has a visitor center with sculptures and jet displays.

Thanks to an initiative rolled out for the 2024-25 school year, all students attending Mid-Del Public Schools now have access to free breakfast and lunch.

Places to shop, golf and gather
The centennial clock chimes the hour at Midwest City Town Center Plaza near I-40. A shopping center that doubles as an entertainment venue, the space includes a lushly appointed park with fountains, foliage and sculptures. Small clothing and jewelry retailers share space with popular chains like Kohl’s, Target, Best Buy and Lowe’s Home Improvement. Sooner Rose is another shopping and entertainment complex that includes a 10-screen movie theater. South Air Depot Boulevard is lined with bargain outlets, auto parts stores and chain restaurants.
Three golf courses surround the city. The John Conrad Regional Golf Course and the 9-hole Hidden Creek Family Golf Course offer public access, while the facilities at Tinker Golf Course are open to military personnel, civilian employees and guests. The parks and recreation department is community-focused, encouraging people to rent out pavilions for gatherings or practice fields for sporting events or tournaments.
Midwest City residents can enjoy different cuisines without having to drive far away.
Midwest City offers locals several options for groceries, such as Walmart on Sooner Road.

Mid-America Street Fest and other community events
Midwest City’s annual events evoke the town’s spirit of perpetual motion. On the third Saturday of every month from April to October, car and motorcycle enthusiasts show off their classic rides at Cruise In For Coffee. The Mid-America Street Fest brings a carnival atmosphere to town on the last Saturday in September, with rides, fair food and live entertainment. During the Holiday Lights Spectacular Drive-Thru, locals take a mile-long drive through an array of colorful Christmas-themed light sculptures.
Taking I-40 to Oklahoma City
Interstate 40 cuts an east-west path through Midwest City, separating Tinker Air Force Base from the heart of town and providing an easy route for the 8-mile drive to Oklahoma City. From there, it’s another 8 miles to Will Rogers World Airport, the largest in the state. Buses on two EMBARK system routes make the trip to Oklahoma City on weekdays. Cycling routes run alongside the old railroad tracks and through other sections of town, but they’re intended more for recreation than commuting.
Public safety and environmental concerns
Crime risk in the city is neither dangerously high nor especially low. The CAP Index scores for most neighborhoods are on par with the national average of 4 out of 10. FBI data also suggests that the risk of violent crime is low to moderate, and on par with the Oklahoma City metro area and the rest of the state. Midwest City is in the path of Tornado Alley, where storm watches and warnings are common. Buyers should be prepared to pay relatively high insurance premiums and ensure that their plans include storm and wind damage coverage.
