A bedroom community near Lake Wichita
Midwestern Farm is a bedroom community of Wichita Falls just beside Lake Wichita and its surrounding recreation. "There's only one dog park in all of Wichita Falls, right there in Lake Wichita Park," says Realtor Debbie Dobbins of Love to the Moon Inc, LLC, who runs a YouTube channel devoted to Wichita Falls and has sold homes here for 30 years. "And there's just so many fun trails that go over and beyond the lake there." Locals live just below the Southwest Parkway, which connects them to entertainment, retail and restaurants in the wider Wichita Falls area. They're also nestled along the southern edge of the city, where weather is less severe than in suburbs closer to the Oklahoma border. It's around 2 miles to Midwestern State University from here, 6 miles to the historic downtown area and 11 miles to Sheppard Air Force Base — a significant area employer.

Ranch-styles in Midwestern Farms from the '70s and '80s
Neighborhood streets are winding, etched by wavy patchwork and connected by sidewalks shadowed by trees. Ranch styles with attached garages from the '70s and '80s are common here — a stark juxtaposition from the over-100-year-old homes closer to downtown. A few residences on a quarter to nearly half an acre offer ample backyard space. Pricing is just a touch higher in this suburb than the city's average, according to local Realtor Tim Lockhart of Keller Williams Lonestar DFW, who retired from the Air Force in 2013 and has sold homes ever since. "The average price per square foot is 136 compared to 131 for the overall city." A fixer-upper around 1,600 square feet might begin around $190,000, and prices rise steadily to around $300,000 for a property over 2,400 square feet. "A lot of them have been fixed up, and just as many have not," Dobbins says. "Sometimes they will have pink cloth blinds or popcorn ceilings." There are no lakefront homes despite Midwestern Farms being near a lake spanning over 2,000 acres. Water levels lower significantly during droughts, which are common during the summer, but recover after heavy rain. Dobbins adds that flooding isn't an issue here: "There is a spillover built into the lake, so there is no concern." Residents have become accustomed to storms bringing hail and mini tornadoes, and the area is prone to wildfires.
Traditional brick built homes are the most common finds in Midwestern Farm.
Clean streets and organized yards are the key elements for a great community.

Wichita Falls Legacy High is one of the newest schools in the city
Students start at Ben Milam Elementary before heading to McNiel Junior High School — both earn B ratings on Niche. The next step is Wichita Falls Legacy High School, one of two new high schools that opened in Wichita Falls in 2024. Legacy High integrates online courses into its curriculum to prepare students for a hybrid world. The schools break out rooms and shared auditorium also foster more collaborative in-person learning. Curious Minds is an alternative school just outside the neighborhood on K-Mart Drive. Serving grades 3 through 8, the school fosters independent thinking by allowing students to lead their own educational journey and dive into what generally inspires them. Midwestern State University is just over 2 miles northeast for a convenient college track with a 90% acceptance rating.
Southwest Parkway connects locals to greater Wichita Falls
Lockhart says everywhere in Wichita Falls is a relatively short drive away. “Everything is between 5 to 20 minutes away from you no matter where you are.” There is an ER Now 24/7 Emergency Room just south, right off the Southwest Parkway. That same route leads locals to Kell West Regional Hospital in less than 4 miles. Wichita Falls Regional Airport is around 11 miles north, following Interstate 44. The airport is located at Sheppard Air Force Base. Serving both military professionals and civilians, it offers flights through American Airlines that travel to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport daily.
The hill at Lake Wichita Park
Lake Wichita Park spans over 230 acres, offering lighted baseball, softball and football fields and an 18-hole disc golf course. Its dog park offers off-leash play areas for small and large dogs, obstacle courses and toys from balls to ropes. The boardwalk leading out to the water was built in 2020 as a part of an ongoing revitalization project. "Another thing at Lake Wichita Park, and locals are the only ones that know about it, is called the hill. It's not much, but people have little contests where they try to ride their bikes up it and their motorcycles and stuff. It's a fun little spot, and it's been there forever," says Dobbins. Locals get to the park by bike or on foot at a connection point to its trail system on Rhea Road. The trail loops around the lake and travels north to Lucy Park, another recreational hub with sports courts and a public swimming pool. Kiwanis Park is just over a mile north and famous for its prairie dog enclosure, offering an up-close look at the playful creatures. Weeks Park's over 250 acres are around 2 miles east and houses Wichita Falls' 18-hole municipal golf course.
Lake Wichita Park is a favorite place for families to enjoy an afternoon outdoors.

Specialty lattes at Frank & Joe's Coffee House
Though primarily a bedroom community, the Southwest Parkway connects locals to a slew of national, regional and local chains. Lockhart says there are two commercial areas Wichita Falls' residents flock to: "Downtown, which has antique stores and craft stores. And then there is another zone with big box stores: the Walmart Supercenter, Lowes, Home Depot, Target, all that stuff." These national retailers are within 1 to 2 miles of the neighborhood, between Kemp and Kell Boulevards. Downtown is a bit further, at just over 6 miles northeast. Chain restaurants from Chick-fil-A to McDonald's surround the parkway. Locals get their frappe and specialty latte fixes at Frank & Joe's Coffee House, a Wichita Falls chain on the highway. Parkway Grill is also there for happy hour and various southern and Mexican-inspired dishes. McBride's Steakhouse, a favorite local spot according to Dobbins, serves sirloins in a country atmosphere just over a mile away.

High school football games at Memorial Stadium
On Sundays, a congregation gathers at Faith Baptist Church, located north off the Southwest Parkway. Memorial Stadium is around 3 miles east and has been the home ground for all Wichita Falls Independent School District football games for the past 50 years. Residents also head there to catch Midwestern State football games. Many events happen downtown, including the annual art walk showcasing local vendors while bringing in food trucks and live music on the first Thursday of the month from April to October. Come August, crows cheer on over 13,000 cyclists for Hotter'N Hell Hundred.
