Growth and development in a historic neighborhood near the airport
Midway, one of Sanford’s most established neighborhoods, is a community in transition. Established in the 1920s to house Black residents working in the area’s celery fields, it also was called Canaan City, a reference to the Biblical Promised Land. Today the neighborhood’s promise centers around its residential development. The neighborhood has become a focal point of growth because of its proximity to the Orlando Sanford International Airport, which is located adjacent to the community’s south side. “That area has been changing for quite a while,” says Timothy Snell, a Realtor with United Real Estate Preferred and local investor. “The city has redone 46, the main road between Midway and the airport. They made it four lanes and added gorgeous landscaping. You’ve seen a substantial change in the past five years, as you have with all of Sanford. There’s a lot of new businesses, a lot of new activity. It’s an exciting area.”

New construction and attractive home values
The south side of Midway still comprises a variety of established homes. Midcentury designs on spacious lots mingle with shotgun-style and other traditional homes, several of which have been upgraded through renovations. Prices typically range from around $80,000 for fixer-uppers to the high $200,000s. A collection of small new homes, the result of tearing down dilapidated housing, also can be found. “It’s very affordable to get in and build there,” says Snell, who is involved in building and selling such homes in the neighborhood. “We make some profit, but we also offer an affordable product that didn’t exist in this market. I don’t know where else you can find a brand-new home for under $300,000. We take pride in that.” On the north side, contemporary housing built from 2021 through the present day comprises a collection of homes built in planned, subdivision-style developments. Some of the dedicated communities are not deed-restricted, but others require HOA fees for amenities such as community pools. Prices typically range from the mid-$300,000s to about $500,000. Another major difference between the two sides of the neighborhood is that the new housing was developed with modern plumbing, while the established homes traditionally operated with septic systems. In recent years, community efforts have been made to secure funding to upgrade the infrastructure on the south side. Related, concerns over noise and pollution on the south side have been somewhat diminished by the widening of State Road 46 between the neighborhood and the airport.

Neighborhood park was renovated in 2023
Midway Park has long been a community gathering space, and it has benefitted from the neighborhood’s transitional status. Park amenities, which include a playground and lighted basketball court, were renovated in 2023. The athletic fields at the nearby Boombah Sports Complex host a variety of tournament-level competitions in everything from baseball to lacrosse to Quidditch. Residents also have access to an array of outdoor activities, as Lake Monroe is located in nearby downtown Sanford, and the St. Johns River flows along the east side of the neighboring community. Fort Mellon Park, highlighted by a variety of children’s playscapes and athletic amenities, is a conveniently located recreational center adjacent to the popular Sanford RiverWalk on the shores of Lake Monroe.

Nearby Publix illustrates the area's growth
Residents can stock up on produce and pantry items at The Market at Todd’s, a neighborhood grocer. A new Publix recently opened within a mile of the neighborhood, another sign of growth. “You know how corporations are; they do their homework,” Snell says. “They are not going to build a store if they don’t think the area can support it. That says a lot about how the area is changing.” Pupusas & Burrito Grill about 2 miles west is a locally owned Latin eatery located along the East 25th Street corridor that forms the neighborhood’s southern edge. An array of additional dining options is available along the downtown waterfront, the center of city activity. "Sanford is known for having a lot of events, and you’re seeing breweries and restaurants popping up in this beautiful commercial downtown," says Carol van den Berg, who works for Florida One Real Estate and lives in the downtown historic district. Walmart anchors the nearest large-scale retail center about 5 miles away.
Todd's Tomatoes & Wholesale Produce is a great local shopping spot for Midway residents.
