Urban convenience meets suburbia in Temple's Midway
Urban convenience and suburbia come together in Temple's Midway neighborhood. The community is blanketed by towering oaks, surrounded by parks and within walking distance of schools, shopping and top-ranked medical facilities. Midtown and Downtown Temple are several miles north of Midway, and the Temple Medical and Educational District (TMED), a medical research and innovation hub, borders its northern edge. “If you’re used to a fast-paced life, get ready to slow down here,” says Scott Eason, a Realtor with Homestead Real Estate. “You’ll find a lot of retirees, as well as nurses and medical staff who work at Baylor Scott and White. People come here to get into a peaceful place. Midway still has that small hometown feel, but it’s large enough to have all your big-box stores and conveniences.” Proximity to three major thoroughfares provides access to the rest of the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood Metro area.
Park-like community with traditional homes
Surrounded by a dense canopy of towering oaks and a park at its center, the community is filled with ranch-style homes, two-story traditional brick homes and contemporary properties. There’s a mix of newer and older homes. Prices range from the low-$200,000s for a three-bedroom to the high-$800,000s for a five- or six-bedroom. Property size averages between 1,200 square feet and 6,000 square feet. There are also a few newer builds going for over $1 million. “You’ll see a lot of homes built in the 1980s and 1990s, and some midsize homes, but then you go around a corner, and there’s a million-dollar home,” says Eason. “So, there are a lot of options for all types of buyers, from empty nesters and retirees to young families or first-time buyers.” Midway also offers duplexes ranging from the low-$200,000s for a three-bedroom to the low-$500,000s for a five-bedroom. Most single-family dwellings have multicar garages, spacious paved driveways and fenced-in backyards. Many properties also have in-ground pools. Lot sizes are large, with many over a half-acre, but some stretch over 3 acres. Paved walking paths meander throughout Midway, connecting neighbors together. Rentals are also scattered throughout Midway. The community offers single-family homes for rent starting in the low $1,400s. Apartments and condos are also available in several complexes, ranging from the low $800s to the high $1,800s. The southern portion of the community backs up to over 30 acres of undeveloped land. Much of the rest is surrounded by retail and restaurants. Parks, hospitals and restaurants are within walking and biking distance.

Home to the fifth-best school district in the county
Temple Independent School District serves the area and is ranked the fifth-best district in Bell County. Students can attend the B-minus-rated Thornton Elementary, which offers an annual art show, followed by Bonham Middle, which has a B-plus on Niche. Kids can finish their education at Temple High, which scores a B-minus and offers a Texas Bioscience Institute Middle College Program that equips students with an associate degree from the nearby Temple College upon graduation. Parents also have several private primary, secondary and higher education options. “Central Texas Christian is a well-regarded private option here, and nearby, you have the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor 30 miles north in Waco,” says Eason. “The Baylor Bears are one of only three private-school football teams in the Big 12.” Some of the neighborhood is also served by Academy Independent School District, which is ranked the seventh-best district in the county, according to Niche. Children attend Academy Elementary, Middle and High schools. Temple College is also within the Midway neighborhood, a two-year college known for its medicine and pharmacy programs.

There are over 11 parks in Midway. Oak Creek Park is within walking distance for Midway residents and is accessible via a paved walking loop. The 4-acre park features a farm-themed playground on synthetic turf, a picnic gazebo and basketball courts. Spanning 100 acres, Lion’s Park is a local favorite, with three shaded playgrounds, four ballfields, a pond, a dog park, a 2-mile multiuse trail and an 18-hole disc golf course. The park also has life-size sculptures of kids and dogs, and the Sam Farrow Amphitheater, which hosts concerts, goat yoga and workshops. East of Lion’s Park is Lion’s Junction Water Park, a seasonal park offering three-story water slides, a lazy river, a splash pad and aqua climb wall. Both Kiwanis and Spanish Southwest parks boast a western-themed playgrounds, along with basketball courts. The 10-acre Waterford Park includes climbing structures and picnic pavilions. South Temple Park provides 50 acres of picnic space, a disc golf course and a small walking trail. The Georgetown Railroad Trail sits at the top of this park is a multiuse path that connects neighborhoods, regional trails and roadways. The city’s long-term goal for the trail is to convert the inactive rail line, including the Historic MK & T Railroad Bridge into a 10-foot hiking and biking trail that will connect Temple to Belton.

Two-stepping at Bo's Barn Dancehall
Most shopping and dining options are along Interstate 35, Route 190 and in the Midtown and Downtown Temple districts, several miles north. Megg’s Café is the go-to spot for locally sourced breakfast, sandwiches and cocktails. Locals love Bach Porch Drafthouse, a casual local chain for burgers, hot sandwiches and other pub fare. For a quick drive-thru meal, Mexicano Bar & Grill is a favorite for its tacos, pozole and chips and queso. “Bo’s Barn Dance Hall is one of the most popular date-night spots or just a place to mingle,” Eason says. “It’s packed every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.” Three miles from the community, the honky tonk bar has pool tables, live country music, karaoke, and southern fare. Anchored by grocer H-E-B, Market Place Shopping Center provides Kohl’s, Party City, Starbucks and Dollar Tree.
